Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sun Facts at 4.8 against Sunlight Clock Free's 3.7. Sun Facts also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months) and review sentiment (97% vs 74%). Sunlight Clock Free's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
