Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Digital Clock at 4.7 against Date & Time Widget's 3.5. My Digital Clock also leads on ratings volume (7.5K vs 95) and review sentiment (81% vs 58%). Date & Time Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
