# Clock mini vs Big Red Clock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Big Red Clock at 77% against Clock mini's 49%. Big Red Clock also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (183 vs 4). Clock mini's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clock mini sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Big Red Clock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clock mini holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Red Clock has 183 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Clock mini's written reviews are positive against 77% of Big Red Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clock mini ships an update every 5 weeks, Big Red Clock every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
