Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WLEDController at none against Digital Clock's 3. WLEDController also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Digital Clock's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
