# sClock vs PureClock

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: sClock at none against PureClock's 7. sClock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (88% vs 78%). PureClock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PureClock sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. sClock asks for nothing beyond the download.

PureClock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 44 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of sClock's written reviews are positive against 78% of PureClock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

sClock ships an update every 14 months, PureClock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
