# Clock vs Stopwatch°

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stopwatch° at 99% against Clock's 14%. Stopwatch° also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 9 months). Clock's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 286) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Stopwatch° holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock has 20K ratings behind it against 286, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Clock's written reviews are positive against 99% of Stopwatch°'s.

Clock ships an update every 9 months, Stopwatch° every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
