Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown Timing at none against DayGlow's 1. Countdown Timing also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). DayGlow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 18 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
