Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: World Clock. Time Widget at none against Flip Clock's shown. World Clock. Time Widget also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Flip Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (69K vs 4.3K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
