Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Rechtzeitig at Free against Countdown+++'s $0.99. Rechtzeitig also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Countdown+++'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
