Verdict
The clearest difference is price: nightstand at Free against Clocky's $1.99. nightstand also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 9 months). Clocky's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
