# FaceClock Calendar vs Minimum Clock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FaceClock Calendar at 54% against Minimum Clock's 0%. FaceClock Calendar also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (32 vs 3). Minimum Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FaceClock Calendar sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Minimum Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Minimum Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FaceClock Calendar has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of FaceClock Calendar's written reviews are positive against 0% of Minimum Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FaceClock Calendar ships an update every 3 months, Minimum Clock every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
