Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GatherQR at none against SmartClockBoard's 1. GatherQR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). SmartClockBoard's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
