Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sober Man at none against CountUp's shown. Sober Man also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). CountUp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
