# World Clock vs World Clock by timeanddate.com

The clearest difference is ads: World Clock by timeanddate.com at none against World Clock's shown. World Clock by timeanddate.com also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (104 vs 14). World Clock's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 58%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and World Clock by timeanddate.com sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

World Clock by timeanddate.com holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Clock by timeanddate.com has 104 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 58% of World Clock by timeanddate.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
