# Fliqlo vs McClockface

The clearest difference is price: McClockface at Free against Fliqlo's $0.99. McClockface also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 48%). Fliqlo's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

McClockface is free to download; Fliqlo costs $0.99 up front. Fliqlo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and McClockface sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fliqlo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fliqlo has 2.3K ratings behind it against 316, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Fliqlo's written reviews are positive against 63% of McClockface's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fliqlo ships an update every 5 weeks, McClockface every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
