# Simple Clock vs Digital Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Digital Clock at 4.7 against Simple Clock's 1.0. Digital Clock also leads on ratings volume (112 vs 1). Simple Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Simple Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Clock has 112 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Simple Clock's written reviews are positive against 67% of Digital Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple Clock ships an update every 6 weeks, Digital Clock monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
