The clearest difference is rating: Clock Widget+ at 4.2 against Nightstand Desk Clock & Widget's 3.5. Clock Widget+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (37 vs 4).

Both are free to download. Nightstand Desk Clock & Widget sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Clock Widget+ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Clock Widget+ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock Widget+ has 37 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Nightstand Desk Clock & Widget's written reviews are positive against 86% of Clock Widget+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nightstand Desk Clock & Widget ships an update every 3 weeks, Clock Widget+ monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
