Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Clock Face at free with in-app purchases against Always On's subscription. Clock Face also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 12) and device support (4 vs 2). Always On's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
