Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: One Wins Only at none against Countdowns's 1. One Wins Only also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 27). Countdowns's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
