Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: McClockface at free with in-app purchases against MD Clock's subscription. McClockface also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 47%). MD Clock's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 316) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MD Clock sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and McClockface sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for MD Clock against 4.6 for McClockface.
