Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown Timer at none against Countdown's 1. Countdown Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Countdown's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
