# Cuckoo vs Weekly Alarm Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Weekly Alarm Clock at 4.4 against Cuckoo's 3.4. Weekly Alarm Clock also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (364 vs 16). Cuckoo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and review sentiment (68% vs 55%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cuckoo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Weekly Alarm Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Weekly Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly Alarm Clock has 364 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Cuckoo's written reviews are positive against 55% of Weekly Alarm Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cuckoo ships an update every 3 months, Weekly Alarm Clock every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
