Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SignalClock Lite at none against One Kanji Clock's 1. SignalClock Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown). One Kanji Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
