Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hour at 3.1 against Clean's 1.6. Hour also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 10%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). Clean's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
