# Countdown Timer vs Today's Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Countdown Timer at 4.5 against Today's Widget's 3.5. Countdown Timer also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 8) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). Today's Widget's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Timer sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Today's Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.

Countdown Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Timer has 1.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
