Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RetroClock at 5.0 against Sketch's 2.8. RetroClock also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 19%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Sketch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sketch sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and RetroClock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RetroClock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sketch has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of Sketch's written reviews are positive against 50% of RetroClock's.
Sketch ships an update every 2 months, RetroClock every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
