# My Digital Clock vs Clock

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clock at none against My Digital Clock's 1. Clock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). My Digital Clock's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (7.5K vs 152). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Digital Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

My Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Digital Clock has 7.5K ratings behind it against 152, 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 84% of 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, Clock every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
