Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Birthday Reminder Countdown at 4.7 against Happy's 3.7. Birthday Reminder Countdown also leads on ratings volume (530 vs 12). Happy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Birthday Reminder Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Happy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Birthday Reminder Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Birthday Reminder Countdown has 530 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Birthday Reminder Countdown's written reviews are positive against 75% of Happy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
