Do you have a pet that is extra sensitive to feeding times? Daylight Drift gives you a feeding schedule that will gradually transition your pet's feeding time due to daylight savings over a chosen number of days. It'll send you a push notification when it's time to feed - and even let you print out the schedule!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daylight Drift at none against Twinkle Clock's 1. Twinkle Clock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
