Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SkyDict at none against Countdown's shown. SkyDict also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 2). Countdown's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
