Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mafia & Spy Role Randomizer at none against Custom Clocktower's 1. Mafia & Spy Role Randomizer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Custom Clocktower's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
