Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cheeky Charging at none against Flip Clock's 1. Cheeky Charging also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Flip Clock's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 9 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
