Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Counter at free with in-app purchases against DayCount's subscription. Counter also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 47%). DayCount's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 62) and chart position (#208 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DayCount sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Counter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of DayCount's written reviews are positive against 79% of Counter's.
