Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cue at 5.0 against Floating Clock's 4.2. Cue also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Floating Clock's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
