# Clock mini vs Clock Widget

The clearest difference is ads: Clock mini at none against Clock Widget's shown. Clock mini also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (5 vs 3). Clock Widget's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clock mini sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Clock Widget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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: Clock Widget has 49 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 57% of Clock Widget'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, Clock Widget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
