Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OddBook Universe at 100% against Countdown App's 46%. OddBook Universe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Countdown App's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
