The clearest difference is review sentiment: Treasure Party at 64% against Clockmaker's 43%. Treasure Party also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Clockmaker's advantage is ratings volume (185K vs 21K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clockmaker sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Treasure Party sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
