Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VizDayz at none against Phantom Countdown's 5. VizDayz also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Phantom Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (276 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
