Meet Clucky, the snarky rooster who makes sure you actually get up. Regular alarms are too easy to silence. Clucky makes waking up a small victory: complete wake-up missions that get your brain and body moving, then build a morning streak you can be proud of. CLUCKY PRO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Clucky is free to download, but every feature described below requires an active Clucky Pro subscription purchased separately in the app. Eligible new subscribers may receive a free trial. The app shows the available plan duration, trial length, and localized price before purchase. WAKE UP WITH FRIENDS Flock lets friends create or join an alarm group, share one crow time, see who is awake, send crow nudges, and compare the weekly Roost Board. Flock uses optional Sign in with Apple. Solo alarms do not require an account. WAKE-UP MISSIONS Solve math problems, shake your phone, walk steps, do push-ups, repeat memory patterns, type wake-up phrases, match colors, tilt a maze, snap a registered photo, or hunt for an object with the camera. Stack up to three missions per alarm and choose the difficulty that works for you. EXTRA LOUD MODE Clucky raises your media volume while ringing and keeps crowing until your missions are complete. A built-in Ringer Check lets you hear how loud your alarm will be before the morning it matters. YOUR MORNINGS, TRACKED Morning Stats and wake history show your wake times, mission counts, dismissal speed, and streak progress. Widgets, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island support keep the next alarm visible at a glance. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from Clucky alarm sounds or import your own. Set alarms with the signature rooster-face time picker, organize alarms in a dedicated list, and manage everything through a five-tab layout. SUBSCRIPTION AND FREE TRIAL Clucky Pro is an auto-renewing subscription purchased separately in the app. Available plans, free-trial eligibility, trial length, and localized prices are displayed before purchase. If you do not cancel before the free trial ends, the subscription auto-renews at the price of the plan you selected. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SecondLoop at none against Clucky's 2. Clucky's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
