Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Countdown@ at 4.7 against Countdown app's 3.9. Countdown@ also leads on ratings volume (39K vs 23) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Countdown app's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
