ProtestCount
Read full descriptionHide full description
Demonstrations are the lifeblood of democracy. They are the way to influence and be heard. There are all kinds of methods for counting people in demonstrations: Counting heads, locating phones, analyzing drone images,... We came to offer a more accurate count, which verifies that the protester was indeed at the demonstration - in the right place, and at the right time. And counting all of them - both those who came at the beginning and left in the middle, and also those who came after him. And what's more - the count is anonymous: no need to register, no personal information. Just install the app, run it, and press the "Count Me!" button

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ProtestCount at every 4 days against CookieNFC's every 3 weeks. ProtestCount also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
