Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: setting.watch at none against Horolog's 3. setting.watch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Horolog's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (21 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
