Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DClock at 4.6 against Icon Killer's 3.6. DClock also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 11) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Icon Killer's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 59%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DClock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Icon Killer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DClock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DClock has 8.1K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of DClock's written reviews are positive against 88% of Icon Killer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DClock ships an update every 3 weeks, Icon Killer every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
