Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Countess at 5.0 against Countr's 4.4. Countess also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Countr's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
