# Floating Clock vs Floating Notepad

The clearest difference is rating: Floating Clock at 4.2 against Floating Notepad's 3.2. Floating Clock also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 18). Floating Notepad's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (52% vs 41%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Floating Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Floating Notepad sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Floating Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Floating Clock has 91 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Floating Clock's written reviews are positive against 52% of Floating Notepad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Floating Clock ships an update every 3 months, Floating Notepad monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
