Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Real Trendsetter at none against Birthday Countdown's shown. The Real Trendsetter also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Birthday Countdown's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
