Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Countdown at 4.8 against ETSU Package Locker's 2.5. Countdown also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 39 months). ETSU Package Locker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
