# Spiffy Clock vs Time Zone Clock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spiffy Clock at 100% against Time Zone Clock's 57%. Spiffy Clock also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Time Zone Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (253 vs 12). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spiffy Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Time Zone Clock sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spiffy Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Zone Clock has 253 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Spiffy Clock's written reviews are positive against 57% of Time Zone Clock's.
