# World Clock vs World Clock Time Zone Widget

The clearest difference is rating: World Clock Time Zone Widget at 4.7 against World Clock's 3.9. World Clock Time Zone Widget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (31K vs 14). World Clock's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (77% vs 69%). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and World Clock Time Zone Widget sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

World Clock Time Zone Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Clock Time Zone Widget has 31K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of World Clock's written reviews are positive against 69% of World Clock Time Zone Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

World Clock ships an update every 6 weeks, World Clock Time Zone Widget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
