Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Darko at 100% against Clocker's 24%. Darko also leads on price (Free vs $2.99) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months). Clocker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
