Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Time Plan at 5.0 against Countdown List's 4.5. Time Plan also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 57%). Countdown List's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
