# McClockface vs Clock Widget+

The clearest difference is rating: McClockface at 4.6 against Clock Widget+'s 4.2. McClockface also leads on ratings volume (316 vs 36). Clock Widget+'s advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 63%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. McClockface sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per 7 days and Clock Widget+ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

McClockface holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: McClockface has 316 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of McClockface's written reviews are positive against 86% of Clock Widget+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

McClockface ships an update every 3 weeks, Clock Widget+ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
