# Countdown Timer vs Followers Count

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown Timer at 60% against Followers Count's 0%. Countdown Timer also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 4). Followers Count's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 and Followers Count sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Timer has 1.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
