Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Simple Clock at free with in-app purchases against MD Clock's subscription. Simple Clock also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). MD Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 297). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
