Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Day Counter widget at none against Whensday's shown. Day Counter widget also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.1). Whensday's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
