Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Calculator Quest at none against Almost Time's shown. Calculator Quest also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). Almost Time's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
