Clock helps you manage your time on iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Check the current time anywhere with World Clock, make sure you wake up on time with Alarms, or keep track of passing time with Stopwatch and Timers. World Clock Check the current time in cities around the world. Or quickly see the time difference compared to your local time to make coordinating across time zones easy. Alarms Set regular alarms for any time of day. Choose to set them to repeat on specific days, give them a label and select the sound that plays with each. When your alarm goes off, you can choose to play from a selection of sounds, or pick a song from your Apple Music library. You can also adjust your wake up alarm and sleep schedule from Health right in the Clock app so you can wind down with a Sleep Focus and make sure you always wake up on time. Stopwatch Measure the duration of an event. You can see how much time has lapsed with either a digital or analog stopwatch face, and you can quickly record laps or splits throughout the time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stopwatch° at 99% against Clock's 14%. Stopwatch° also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 9 months). Clock's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 286) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
