Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Huge Digital Clock at 4.1 against Date & Time Widget's 3.5. Huge Digital Clock also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). Date & Time Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
