Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Countdown at 4.4 against Day Counter's 3.9. Countdown also leads on ratings volume (51 vs 9) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Day Counter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Day Counter asks for nothing beyond the download.
Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 51 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Countdown's written reviews are positive against 60% of Day Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Countdown ships an update every 2 weeks, Day Counter every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
