Verdict
One Day and Countdown Widget Calendar both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of One Day's written reviews are positive against 60% of Countdown Widget Calendar's. One Day also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Countdown Widget Calendar's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
