Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SimpleBigCounter at none against DigitalCounter's shown. SimpleBigCounter also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). DigitalCounter's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
