# Clove vs Pebble

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clove at none against Pebble's 3. Clove also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 3). Pebble's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pebble sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Clove asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pebble holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clove has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Clove ships an update every 6 weeks, Pebble every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
