Verdict
The clearest difference is price: When at Free against Time Display's $1.99. When also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Time Display's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
