Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hearing at none against ScaleClock's 4. Hearing also leads on ratings volume (119 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). ScaleClock's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
