Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vacation Countdown Widget at none against Event Countdown & Widget's shown. Vacation Countdown Widget also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Event Countdown & Widget's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vacation Countdown Widget sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month and Event Countdown & Widget sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Event Countdown & Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4.
