Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Counter Widget at none against Countr's 5. Counter Widget also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Countr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
