Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ScheduledList Countdown at every 2 months against picocalc's every 16 months. ScheduledList Countdown also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). picocalc's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
