# Sun Times vs Sun Alarm Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Sun Alarm Clock at 4.6 against Sun Times's 4.0. Sun Alarm Clock also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 4). Sun Times's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (79% vs 67%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sun Alarm Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Sun Times asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sun Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sun Alarm Clock has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Sun Times's written reviews are positive against 67% of Sun Alarm Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sun Times ships an update every 9 months, Sun Alarm Clock every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
