Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Counter Widget at 4.7 against Countie's 4.0. Counter Widget also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). Countie's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
