The clearest difference is price: Christmas Countdown at Free against Christmas Countdown Premium's $1.99. Christmas Countdown also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 13 months). Christmas Countdown Premium's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
