Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: sClock at none against Big Clock's 1. sClock also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 68%) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). Big Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (700 vs 29). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
