# Digital Clock vs Ticktack Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Digital Clock at 4.4 against Ticktack Clock's 3.6. Digital Clock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 5). Ticktack Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Ticktack Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Clock has 1.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Digital Clock's written reviews are positive against 60% of Ticktack 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, Ticktack Clock every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
