Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BananaOrDog at none against Phantom Countdown's 5. BananaOrDog also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Phantom Countdown's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 43 months) and ratings volume (278 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
