# Weekly Alarm Clock vs School Chimes

The clearest difference is rating: Weekly Alarm Clock at 4.4 against School Chimes's 3.7. Weekly Alarm Clock also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (370 vs 56). School Chimes's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. School Chimes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Weekly Alarm Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Weekly Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly Alarm Clock has 370 ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Weekly Alarm Clock's written reviews are positive against 58% of School Chimes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weekly Alarm Clock ships an update every 9 months, School Chimes monthly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
