Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Any Text at 100% against Digital Time's 36%. Any Text also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). Digital Time's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 11). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Time sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Any Text asks for nothing beyond the download.
Any Text holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Time has 70 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Any Text's written reviews are positive against 36% of Digital Time's.
