Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Day Clock at none against Zinnia TV's 2. Day Clock also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Zinnia TV's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 50%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
