Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swiftime at none against Digital Clock's 1. Swiftime also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). Digital Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and monetization model there is nothing between them.
