Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Glance Widgets at none against Comet's 3. Glance Widgets also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and chart position (#162 vs unranked). Comet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (65% vs 38%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
