Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tingbo at none against Zen Quotes Clock's 1. Tingbo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Zen Quotes Clock's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
