Verdict
The clearest difference is price: OgdenSpine at Free against My Own Clock's $1.99. OgdenSpine also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 23 months). My Own Clock's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
