Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Salon315 at none against Christmas Countdown's 1. Salon315 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Christmas Countdown's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (876 vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
