Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NoiseLog at none against Smooth Countdown Lite's 1. NoiseLog also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). Smooth Countdown Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
