Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Anniversary Note at none against Birthdays Countdown's shown. Anniversary Note also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Birthdays Countdown's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
