Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown zur Rente at none against RetirementTracker's 1. Countdown zur Rente also leads on review sentiment (11% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). RetirementTracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
