Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpotGrove at none against World Clock Time Zone Widgets's 1. SpotGrove also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). World Clock Time Zone Widgets's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 13). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
