Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sun Clock App at 4.3 against Daylight BASIC's 2.0. Sun Clock App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Daylight BASIC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 33 months). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
