Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Star Memories at 7 against Lumiday · Countdown's 1. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Star Memories sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Lumiday · Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Star Memories against 5.0 for Lumiday · Countdown.
