Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LifeHack at none against Basic Counter Plus's 1. LifeHack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Basic Counter Plus's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
