Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stand Clock Display at 4.5 against KeepLit's 2.3. Stand Clock Display also leads on ratings volume (146 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). KeepLit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
