Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Previews Creator at 100% against WatchTheTime's 57%. Previews Creator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and ads (none vs shown). WatchTheTime's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
