Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bayern at none against NiceClock Analog's shown. Bayern also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 92%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). NiceClock Analog's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
