Verdict
The clearest difference is price: The Clocks at Free against Cloki's $7.99. The Clocks also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 35) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Cloki's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
