# Nexus vs Chess Timer & Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Chess Timer & Clock at 3.0 against Nexus's 2.5. Chess Timer & Clock also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Nexus's advantage is ratings volume (90 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nexus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Chess Timer & Clock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chess Timer & Clock holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nexus has 90 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nexus ships an update fortnightly, Chess Timer & Clock every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
