Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Midnight Solve at Free against Countdown+++'s $0.99. Midnight Solve also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (5 vs 3). Countdown+++'s advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 14) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
