Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Simple Countdowns at none against Metronome's shown. Simple Countdowns also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Metronome's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
