Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iDays at none against My CountDown's 1. iDays also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My CountDown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. iDays asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iDays holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 520 and 227 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of iDays's written reviews are positive against 81% of My CountDown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iDays ships an update every 3 weeks, My CountDown every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
