Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clock Widget at 4.6 against TimeDeck's 4.0. Clock Widget also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). TimeDeck's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
