Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LibertyGuard at Free against Countdown+++'s $0.99. LibertyGuard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Countdown+++'s advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
