Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SourceCanvas at none against Character Count's shown. SourceCanvas also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 21 months) and device support (4 vs 2). Character Count's advantage is iOS requirement (11 vs 18.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
