Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Birthday Counter at none against Countdown's 1. Birthday Counter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). Countdown's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
