Introducing RPG, your go-to Randomized Password Generator. Use RPG to create strong, secure passwords that protect your important data and privacy. Why RPG? Stop using dictionary-based passwords that are easily compromised. Instead, opt for random passwords that are not found in dictionaries and are much less likely to be tested in a “brute force” attack. Features Instant Generation: RPG instantly generates several passwords with varying strength, color-coded to help you quickly choose a password with the characteristics you need. - Word Option: RPG includes the option for words in passwords! Generate easy-to-type and remember passwords like “~Turfy9CookedSambur”. Optionally use random symbols as word separators. - Memorable Passwords: RPG creates strong memorable passwords using a clever technique that helps the password resemble a word. - Hawaiian Passwords: Give your password a fun tropical feel! - Balanced Passwords: Faster and easier to type because each character of the password comes from alternating hands (or thumbs). - Password Strength: Measured for each password based on the complexity and variety of letters, numbers, and symbols included. Time to guess is estimated based on a hypothetical computer system capable of making 500 billion guesses per second. Password Entropy is also available for each password (enable in Settings). - Privacy: Several passwords are generated at the same time, so there is no way the app or the person watching over your shoulder could know which password you decide to use! Just memorize the password you like and your secret will be safe. - Easy Copy and Save: Swipe to copy or save the password, or touch a password to tweak it before copying it for easy pasting later. Use the refresh buttons or pull the list down to generate more passwords. - Secure Storage: Saved passwords are stored in your device keychain, automatically sync to your other iCloud devices, and are available when logging into websites and apps (enable in Settings). The free version saves up to 3 passwords. Passwords are protected using your device passcode or biometrics. - Customization Options: Jump directly into the customization options for individual password profiles from the Passwords screen. - Random Login Names: Optionally create a random username when saving a password. Randomized usernames provide better security than your personally identifiable email address or phone number in the event of a website breach. - Export Option: Optionally export your password list for safe-keeping. Protect your data with RPG - the Randomized Password Generator. Your important data will thank you.
Countdown

Days until the dates you care about: on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Every feature is free: every widget, every reminder, iCloud sync, all 123 icons and 12 colors. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, no account, no tracking. Add an event, pick a date, and see one big number: the days to go. On the day it reads Today. Afterwards it counts up. EVENTS • A name, a date, one of 123 icons and one of 12 colors for each event. • Birthdays and anniversaries can repeat every year, so they always count down to the next one. • Upcoming events first, soonest at the top. Past events in their own section. • Whole days only. The count changes at midnight, wherever you are. WIDGETS • Small: one event in its own color. Pick the event, or let it follow your next one. • Medium: your next event, and the two after it. • Large: your next six events. • Lock screen: circular, rectangular and inline, each for one event. • Tap any event in a widget to open it. REMINDERS • Choose any of six for each event: on the day, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month before. • They arrive at the time you set, 9:00 AM to begin with. • Tap a reminder to open its event. IPHONE AND IPAD • Events sync through your own iCloud. There is nothing to sign in to. • Add an event on one device and it appears on the other. • Without iCloud, everything still works on the device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your events are kept on your devices and in your own iCloud, where only you can read them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown at none against RPG's 1. Countdown also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). RPG's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
