Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clock mini at 5.0 against Rect Clock's 3.7. Clock mini also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 2). Rect Clock's advantage is ratings volume (168 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
