Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spiffy Clock at 100% against Digital Clock's 64%. Spiffy Clock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Digital Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (384 vs 12). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
