Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Character Count at Free against DateWidget's $0.99. Character Count also leads on rating (1.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). DateWidget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 21 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
