Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown at none against DatePin's 3. Countdown also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). DatePin's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
