Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: TickDown at ad-supported against Event Countdown's subscription. TickDown also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). Event Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
