# Clockly vs Artisan

The clearest difference is rating: Artisan at 5.0 against Clockly's 4.5. Artisan also leads on ads (none vs shown). Clockly's advantage is ratings volume (478 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clockly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Artisan sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Artisan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clockly has 478 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
