Verdict
TimePal and Clockwise both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Clockwise's written reviews are positive against 46% of TimePal's. Clockwise also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Clockwise is free to download; TimePal costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TimePal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clockwise has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of TimePal's written reviews are positive against 93% of Clockwise'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 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
