# My Digital Clock vs TimeDeck

The clearest difference is rating: My Digital Clock at 4.7 against TimeDeck's 4.0. My Digital Clock also leads on ratings volume (7.5K vs 67) and review sentiment (81% vs 57%). TimeDeck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Digital Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TimeDeck sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Digital Clock has 7.5K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of My Digital Clock's written reviews are positive against 57% of TimeDeck's.

My Digital Clock ships an update every 5 months, TimeDeck monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
