Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clock+ at 4.5 against The Matrix Clock's 2.3. Clock+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1K vs 25). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clock+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Matrix Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Clock+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock+ has 1K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Clock+'s written reviews are positive against 37% of The Matrix Clock's.
Clock+ ships an update every 4 months, The Matrix Clock every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
