Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Custom Digital Clock at Free against NixiTubeClock's $1.99. Custom Digital Clock also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). NixiTubeClock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
