Verdict
The clearest difference is price: World Clock at Free against TimeGlance's $0.99. World Clock also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7). TimeGlance's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (106 vs 8). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
