Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DigitalCounter at 4.6 against Plink's 3.7. DigitalCounter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Plink's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
