# The Analog Clock vs Clock

The clearest difference is update cadence: Clock at every 3 weeks against The Analog Clock's every 8 months. Clock also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 54%). The Analog Clock's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 449) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Analog Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Clock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for The Analog Clock against 4.5 for Clock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Analog Clock has 2.4K ratings behind it against 449, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of The Analog Clock's written reviews are positive against 71% of Clock's.
