Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SimpleClock at 5.0 against Simple Clock's 4.5. SimpleClock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Simple Clock's advantage is ratings volume (297 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
