Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Countsy at Free against ShuffleSort's $1.99. Countsy also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). ShuffleSort's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
