Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Studio Clock at none against Smooth Clock Lite's 1. Studio Clock also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 months). Smooth Clock Lite's advantage is iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
