Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Digital Clock at free with in-app purchases against Always On's subscription. Digital Clock also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 12). Always On's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
