Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Birthday Counter at none against Countdown's 1. Birthday Counter also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.6). Countdown's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
