Ora is a world clock app, in the most literal sense possible. Like any good world clock, it lets you see the time in different locations around the globe; but unlike others, it can show you those times on an actual globe, and you can use Time Travel to see different times. This is especially useful if you work across time zones, or are following events in other time zones; for all those times you might ask questions like “What time is it in New York when it’s 3pm in London?”.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sesame at none against Ora's 3. Ora's advantage is device support (5 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
