Daystub

Every date is a ticket. Add the days you are waiting for (a trip, a birthday, a holiday, a concert) and watch the number on the stub come down. On the day, the stub tears off. WIDGETS IN EVERY SIZE Small, medium, large and extra large on the Home Screen, and circular, rectangular and inline on the Lock Screen and in StandBy. Show the next date, one tag, or a date of your choice. Under a day away, the widget counts the hours, minutes and seconds live. COUNTED THE WAY YOU THINK - All-day dates count calendar days where you are: tomorrow is always 1 - Times in any time zone, so a flight counts to its own local departure - Repeats every year, month, week or day, rolling on by themselves - Birthdays say "Turns 7", anniversaries "12 years" - Count in days, weeks, months, years, or sleeps for the little ones - Weekdays only, for deadlines and the days until the holidays - Dates behind you keep counting up, as a stub you keep REMINDERS On the day, and 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month before, or any time you choose. One switch turns them all off without losing your choices. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE - Tags with their own emoji and color - Import events from your calendars - Add holidays for your country and around the world: Easter, Thanksgiving, Lunar New Year, Diwali and more - Share a date as a link, a picture or a calendar file; the link opens in any browser - iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad DAYSTUB PLUS One payment, not a subscription, shared with your family: a photo on every date, every theme (Kraft, Mint, Blueprint, Rose and Noir), alternate app icons, and export and import of all your dates. Widgets, reminders, import, holidays, sync and sharing are for everyone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads. Your dates, notes and photos stay on your devices and in your own iCloud, and the app never asks to track you. iPhone and iPad, iOS 15 and later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Daystub at every 3 days against Countdown Widget's every 3 months. Daystub also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
