Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Time Intersect at 4.7 against World Clock's 3.3. Time Intersect also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (487 vs 82). World Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, 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 Time Intersect sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Time Intersect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Intersect has 487 ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of World Clock's written reviews are positive against 73% of Time Intersect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

World Clock ships an update every 3 months, Time Intersect monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
