Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nocturn at none against Ever Clock's 10. Nocturn also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Ever Clock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
