Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Countdown Widget & Counter at none against ScheduledDay's shown. Countdown Widget & Counter also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 177). ScheduledDay's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
