Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdowns+ at none against DaysUntilWhen's 1. Countdowns+ also leads on device support (4 vs 2). DaysUntilWhen's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
