Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Countdown@ at 4.7 against Excelsior EMC's 2.2. Countdown@ also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 7 months). Excelsior EMC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
