Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CountOnly at none against Countdown's shown. CountOnly also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (75% vs 52%). Countdown's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
