Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Daily Kudos at 5.0 against Sub Count's 3.3. Daily Kudos also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Sub Count's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
