# Countdown Day · Widget & Timer vs Countdown with widget

The clearest difference is rating: Countdown Day · Widget & Timer at 5.0 against Countdown with widget's 4.4. Countdown Day · Widget & Timer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Countdown with widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Day · Widget & Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Countdown with widget sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Countdown Day · Widget & Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown with widget has 2.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Countdown Day · Widget & Timer's written reviews are positive against 27% of Countdown with widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Countdown Day · Widget & Timer ships an update fortnightly, Countdown with widget every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
