Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Z5 Count at none against Count That Now's 1. Z5 Count also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Count That Now's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
