# Simple_Clock vs Clock

The clearest difference is update cadence: Simple_Clock at every 5 days against Clock's every 3 weeks. Simple_Clock also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Clock's advantage is ratings volume (382 vs 127) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple_Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Clock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple_Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 127 and 382 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Simple_Clock's written reviews are positive against 75% of Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple_Clock ships an update every 5 days, Clock every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
