Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple clock at 100% against Connect Desktop's 51%. Simple clock also leads on price (Free vs $4.99). Connect Desktop's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
