Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Desk Clock Display at 4.5 against Clock's 2.3. Desk Clock Display also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 3). Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
