# World Clock vs WorkTime

The clearest difference is rating: WorkTime at 4.4 against World Clock's 3.3. WorkTime also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 82) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). World Clock's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorkTime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of World Clock's written reviews are positive against 59% of WorkTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

World Clock ships an update every 3 months, WorkTime every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
