# Splash Mini vs Clockwise

The clearest difference is update cadence: Splash Mini at every 3 weeks against Clockwise's every 3 months. Splash Mini also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 295). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Mini sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Clockwise sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
