Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PX Clock at none against PureClock's shown. PX Clock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). PureClock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (44 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
