Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rainbow Counter at 5.0 against Counter Man's 3.9. Rainbow Counter also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Counter Man's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 months vs every 43 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
