Have your phone speak alarm messages out loud with Spoken Alarm! NO SUBSCRIPTIONS! NO ADS. You can set alarm sounds with a microphone recording or generate one using text-to-speech. Alarms can be set to repeat daily or on certain days of the week. We also fully support setting alarms with Siri by simply saying "hey Siri set an alarm in spoken alarm" and answering the prompts. Spoken Alarm is great to remind you of medicine times or other important reminders, using the full alarm functionality instead of just a simple reminder notification. We also offer all of this with no subscription and no ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spoken Alarm at none against Countdown Widgets's shown. Countdown Widgets's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
