Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Ster at Free against Premium Clock's $1.99. Ster also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (42 vs 3). Premium Clock's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Premium Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ster has 42 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Premium Clock's written reviews are positive against 5% of Ster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Premium Clock ships an update every 29 months, Ster every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
