Verdict
CountOnly and Countdown@ both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of CountOnly's written reviews are positive against 37% of Countdown@'s. CountOnly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Countdown@'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (39K vs 261). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
