# Alarm Clock for Me vs Focus Clock

The clearest difference is monetization model: Alarm Clock for Me at free with in-app purchases against Focus Clock's subscription. Alarm Clock for Me also leads on ratings volume (124K vs 20) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Focus Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (69% vs 51%).

Both are free to download. Alarm Clock for Me sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days 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.

Alarm Clock for Me holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alarm Clock for Me has 124K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Alarm Clock for Me'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.

Alarm Clock for Me ships an update every 5 weeks, Focus Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
