# My Digital Clock vs Big Red Clock

The clearest difference is ads: Big Red Clock at none against My Digital Clock's shown. Big Red Clock also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). My Digital Clock's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 101) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Digital Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Big Red Clock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Digital Clock has 7.5K ratings behind it against 101, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of My Digital Clock's written reviews are positive against 83% of Big Red Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Digital Clock ships an update every 5 months, Big Red Clock every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
