# Super Clock vs Focus Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Focus Clock at 4.3 against Super Clock's 3.7. Focus Clock also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Super Clock's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Super Clock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Focus Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Super Clock's written reviews are positive against 69% of Focus Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Super Clock ships an update every 2 weeks, Focus Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
