# AMClock vs PureClock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PureClock at 78% against AMClock's 0%. PureClock also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). AMClock's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AMClock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 2 months and PureClock sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PureClock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PureClock has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of AMClock's written reviews are positive against 78% of PureClock's.

AMClock ships an update every 2 months, PureClock fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
