Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown Widget at none against DayCount's 2. Countdown Widget also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). DayCount's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
