Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Eris at none against Alarm Clock's shown. Eris also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Alarm Clock's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
