# 桌面时钟 vs Flip Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Flip Clock at 5.0 against 桌面时钟's 4.0. Flip Clock also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 1). 桌面时钟's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 桌面时钟 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Flip Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flip Clock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Clock has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

桌面时钟 ships an update every 3 days, Flip Clock every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
