Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Voice Over Clock at none against ネコタイプ16's 3. Voice Over Clock also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). ネコタイプ16's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
