Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: digi at 5.0 against Digital Clock's 4.4. digi also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (100% vs 65%). Digital Clock's advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
