Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReDay at none against Countdown's 2. ReDay also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Countdown's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
