# Digital Clock vs MD Clock

The clearest difference is monetization model: Digital Clock at free with in-app purchases against MD Clock's subscription. MD Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 1.3K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MD Clock sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MD Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MD Clock has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Digital Clock's written reviews are positive against 47% of MD Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Digital Clock ships an update every 3 weeks, MD Clock every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
