Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Time at 5.0 against Digital Time's 3.0. Time also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (67% vs 36%). Digital Time's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (70 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
