# 17 Clock vs StandBy Widget & Always On

The clearest difference is rating: StandBy Widget & Always On at 4.6 against 17 Clock's 2.0. StandBy Widget & Always On also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (133 vs 2). 17 Clock's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 32 months) and review sentiment (25% vs 17%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 17 Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and StandBy Widget & Always On sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StandBy Widget & Always On holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StandBy Widget & Always On has 133 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of 17 Clock's written reviews are positive against 17% of StandBy Widget & Always On's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

17 Clock ships an update daily, StandBy Widget & Always On every 32 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
