Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Phenomenon at none against Clover Blocks's 3. The Phenomenon also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Clover Blocks's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
