Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Clockmaker at 185K against Runefall's 1.7K. Clockmaker also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). Runefall's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 43%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Clockmaker sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Runefall sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Clockmaker against 4.6 for Runefall. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clockmaker has 185K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Clockmaker's written reviews are positive against 59% of Runefall's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clockmaker ships an update fortnightly, Runefall every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
