# Meme Maker Pro vs CountdownerSMS

The clearest difference is update cadence: Meme Maker Pro at weekly against CountdownerSMS's every 4 months. Meme Maker Pro also leads on ratings volume (39K vs 4) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). CountdownerSMS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meme Maker Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and CountdownerSMS sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meme Maker Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meme Maker Pro has 39K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Meme Maker Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of CountdownerSMS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meme Maker Pro ships an update weekly, CountdownerSMS every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
