Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DigitalCounter at 4.6 against FlinkCounter's 3.7. DigitalCounter also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). FlinkCounter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
