Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FaceClock Calendar at none against Rect Clock's shown. FaceClock Calendar also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.7). Rect Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (168 vs 32). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
