Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flip Clock at 71K against Clock Widget's 53. Flip Clock also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 57%). Clock Widget's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
