# World Clock Pro vs Zones

The clearest difference is monetization model: Zones at free with in-app purchases against World Clock Pro's subscription. Zones also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). World Clock Pro's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 79) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Clock Pro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Zones sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for World Clock Pro against 4.7 for Zones. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Clock Pro has 1.4K ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of World Clock Pro's written reviews are positive against 70% of Zones's.

World Clock Pro ships an update every 2 months, Zones every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
