Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Relationship Counter at 4.7 against Countdown ‎'s 3.8. Relationship Counter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (62% vs 34%). Countdown ‎'s advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 180) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
