Verdict

The call

Wedding Countdown Planner and Countdown to Anything! both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Countdown to Anything!'s written reviews are positive against 59% of Wedding Countdown Planner's. Countdown to Anything! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Wedding Countdown Planner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
