Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fast Clock at none against Flip Clock's 1. Fast Clock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Flip Clock's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
