Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QuickCountdown at none against TickClock's 3. QuickCountdown also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). TickClock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
