# Battery vs Desktop Flip Clock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Desktop Flip Clock at 74% against Battery's 29%. Desktop Flip Clock also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (191 vs 13). Battery's advantage is iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Battery sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Desktop Flip Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
