# Split This vs Simple Alarm

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Alarm at none against Split This's 2. Simple Alarm also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Split This's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
