Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TIMEBOX at none against Digital Clock's shown. TIMEBOX also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). Digital Clock's advantage is ratings volume (69K vs 38) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TIMEBOX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Digital Clock sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for TIMEBOX against 4.6 for Digital Clock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Clock has 69K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of TIMEBOX's written reviews are positive against 63% of Digital Clock's.
