# Clockout vs Sirkl

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sirkl at 100% against Clockout's 62%. Sirkl also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Clockout's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 13) and chart position (#113 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clockout sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Sirkl sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sirkl holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clockout has 8K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Clockout's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sirkl's.

Clockout ships an update weekly, Sirkl every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
