Soon is a beautifully simple countdown. Each countdown fills the screen in its own color, with the number of days remaining inside a ring that shrinks as the day approaches. • Full-screen, color-coded countdowns — swipe between them • A ring that shows how much of the year (or week, or month) is left • An animated ring on the day itself • Countdowns that repeat every week, month or year, so anniversaries roll around on their own • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Apple Watch app and complications • App icon badge counting down your next event • Milestone notifications one year, one month, one week and one day before • iCloud Sync between your devices Soon is free with up to 5 countdowns. A single Upgrade removes ads and unlocks unlimited countdowns, repeats, manual ordering, iCloud Sync, notifications, and the page-turn animation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DTD ShotClock at none against Soon's 1. DTD ShotClock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 64 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
