Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Guru Countdown at 5.0 against Wedding Countdown's 4.2. Guru Countdown also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). Wedding Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (336 vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
