Verdict
Countdown with widget and Eventime both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 46% of Eventime's written reviews are positive against 27% of Countdown with widget's. Countdown with widget's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 266) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
