Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Day Counter at 71% against Event Countdown's 0%. Event Countdown's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Event Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Day Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Event Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 108 and 105 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Event Countdown's written reviews are positive against 71% of Day Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
