Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cuckoo VO at none against The Analog Clock's 3. Cuckoo VO also leads on ads (none vs shown). The Analog Clock's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 5). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Analog Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Cuckoo VO asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Analog Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Analog Clock has 2.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Cuckoo VO's written reviews are positive against 54% of The Analog Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cuckoo VO ships an update every 17 months, The Analog Clock every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
