Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: World Clock at 87% against Clock's 14%. World Clock also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20K vs 600). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
