Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Planit at 4.7 against Exam Countdowns's 4.0. Planit also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 4) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Planit sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.49 per year and Exam Countdowns sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Planit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planit has 58 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
