Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Count Days at none against Gomi Guide's shown. Count Days also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Gomi Guide's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
