Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Maimonides at none against Shabbat Alarm Clock's 4. Maimonides also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Shabbat Alarm Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
