Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Counter+ at none against Counter's 1. Simple Counter+ also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Counter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
