Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Z5 Count at none against Countdown@'s 1. Z5 Count also leads on ads (none vs shown). Countdown@'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (40K vs 8). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
