Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Clock+ at 4.5 against Time's 3.6. Clock+ also leads on ratings volume (998 vs 5). Time's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clock+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock+ has 998 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Time's written reviews are positive against 45% of Clock+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Time ships an update monthly, Clock+ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
