# WorkTime vs Countdown!

The clearest difference is rating: WorkTime at 4.4 against Countdown!'s 3.5. WorkTime also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 2). Countdown!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (92% vs 59%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Countdown! asks for nothing beyond the download.

WorkTime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of WorkTime's written reviews are positive against 92% of Countdown!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
