# Alarm Clock ◎ vs Wake Up Call Service

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alarm Clock ◎ at 63% against Wake Up Call Service's 0%. Alarm Clock ◎ also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 8). Wake Up Call Service's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alarm Clock ◎ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Wake Up Call Service sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wake Up Call Service holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alarm Clock ◎ has 3.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Alarm Clock ◎'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Wake Up Call Service's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
