Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Live Lounge at none against SimpleTime's 3. Live Lounge also leads on ads (none vs shown). SimpleTime's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
