Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Countdown at Free against count's $0.99. Countdown also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 18 months) and device support (4 vs 2). count's advantage is chart position (#182 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
