The clearest difference is ads: Pure Countdown at none against Fullscreen Clock's shown. Pure Countdown also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Fullscreen Clock's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
