Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Badger at 100% against Clockout's 62%. Badger also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Clockout's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 4) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
