# My Digital Clock vs Clock Widget

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Digital Clock at 81% against Clock Widget's 19%. My Digital Clock also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (7.5K vs 1.4K). Clock Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily 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 Clock Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Digital Clock has 7.5K ratings behind it against 1.4K, 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 19% of Clock Widget's.
