The Chess Clock app helps you control chess time more easily and quickly by replacing physical chess clock timers. It allows you to set different times for two players with preset time intervals or a custom timer input.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Clock at none against Clock for Chess's 1. Chess Clock also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Clock for Chess's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
