# One Day vs Countdown Creator

One Day also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Countdown Creator's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Day has 91 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
