Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Birthday Countdown ‎ at Free against Wedding Planner Professional's $23.99. Birthday Countdown ‎ also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 3). Wedding Planner Professional's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
