Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Counter+. at none against MalaMode's 3. Counter+. also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). MalaMode's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
