Both are free to download. Countdown Day · Widget & Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Day Counter Ⓞ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Countdown Day · Widget & Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Day Counter Ⓞ has 32 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 75% of Day Counter Ⓞ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Countdown Day · Widget & Timer ships an update fortnightly, Day Counter Ⓞ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
