The clearest difference is price: Bedside Clock at Free against Vesper's $0.99. Bedside Clock also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Vesper's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
