Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Digital Clock at none against Floating Clock's shown. Digital Clock also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 22). Floating Clock's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
