Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reminder & Countdown at none against Time to event's 1. Reminder & Countdown also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Time to event's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
