Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Countdown Stopwatch at $1.99 against Mil's $14.99. Countdown Stopwatch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). Mil's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (51 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
