Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: X Clock at none against FlipClock's shown. X Clock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). FlipClock's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
