# Fliqlo vs Simple Clock

The clearest difference is price: Simple Clock at Free against Fliqlo's $0.99. Simple Clock also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 48%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Fliqlo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Simple Clock is free to download; Fliqlo costs $0.99 up front. Fliqlo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Simple Clock sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fliqlo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fliqlo has 2.3K ratings behind it against 297, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Fliqlo's written reviews are positive against 75% of Simple Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fliqlo ships an update monthly, Simple Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
