Look forward to the birthdays of the people you love. Berrily is more than a reminder that fires on the day. It was made so that the time spent waiting for a birthday is a pleasure in itself. Add a birthday and Berri the bear waits with you. While the day is still far off, he reads with a warm drink. A week before, he picks a gift. Three days before, he bakes the cake. The day before, he hangs the bunting. And then, the party. Every time you open the app, you can see the day coming closer. FOR YOU IF - There are people you want to celebrate: kids, a partner, parents, friends - You would rather look forward to the day than notice it on the morning - You want a calm app with no account and no ads WHAT IT DOES - Shows who is next, how many days are left, and how old they are turning - Puts people who share a birthday on the same card - Keeps a note per year: gift ideas, the cake, what you want to say - Lets you add a photo, or pick an icon that follows your theme colour - Imports the birthdays already saved in your contacts REMINDERS Choose 30, 14, 7 or 3 days before, the day before, or the day itself. Pick the time. Turn off the ones you do not need. WIDGETS See Berri and the next birthday on your Home Screen and Lock Screen without opening the app. YOUR DATA No account. No ads. No tracking. Your birthdays are kept on this iPhone and in your own iCloud, nowhere else. On a new phone, sign in with the same Apple Account and they come back. PRICE Free for up to 10 people. One purchase for unlimited people, no subscription. Reminders, widgets and iCloud sync stay free. Available in English, Japanese and German.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Berrily at none against Birthday Countdown's shown. Birthday Countdown's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
