Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Digital Time at Free against DateGlance's $0.99. Digital Time also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (70 vs 23). DateGlance's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
