# Mathe Alarm Clock vs MathWake

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MathWake at 100% against Mathe Alarm Clock's 57%. Mathe Alarm Clock's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mathe Alarm Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MathWake sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mathe Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mathe Alarm Clock has 8.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Mathe Alarm Clock's written reviews are positive against 100% of MathWake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mathe Alarm Clock ships an update every 5 weeks, MathWake every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
