STORY is the world’s first levitating timepiece allowing you to personalize your most unique journeys. STORY consists of a magnetically levitating sphere that orbits around a wooden base telling the time. An intricate dance of magnetic magic guides the chrome sphere while it moves around its orbit. Starting at the 12 O’Clock position, STORY will complete one full orbit at the interval of your choice. STORY is controlled via a mobile app enabling you to customize your own orbit. It can be used as a standard clock to count the seconds, minutes and hours, or as a custom clock to count special moments such as birthdays, anniversaries, or upcoming travel plans. The levitating sphere will complete one full revolution when the date arrives. Set STORY to count the minutes, hours or days. It’s up to you! STORY is more than just a clock: it’s a unique way to visualize time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: STORY by Flyte at none against Twinkle Clock's 1. STORY by Flyte also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). Twinkle Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
