# World Clock vs Time Intersect

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 review sentiment (87% vs 73%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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.

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: 87% 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.

World Clock ships an update every 3 months, Time Intersect monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
