Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Puzzle Clock at 4.1 against NexCube's 3.0. Puzzle Clock also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). NexCube's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
