Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flip Clock at none against When's shown. Flip Clock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). When's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
