Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: digi at none against Big Clock's 4. digi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Big Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
