Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smooth Clock Lite at 5.0 against NiceClock Analog's 3.7. Smooth Clock Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.5). NiceClock Analog's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Smooth Clock Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Smooth Clock Lite's written reviews are positive against 92% of NiceClock Analog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smooth Clock Lite ships an update every 10 months, NiceClock Analog fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
