Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clock Widget at 57% against Date and Time Widget's 9%. Clock Widget also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Date and Time Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (267 vs 49). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
