Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown at none against Soonly's 2. Countdown also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Soonly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
