# Age Clock vs Countdown

The clearest difference is rating: Countdown at 4.7 against Age Clock's 3.1. Countdown also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 21 months). Age Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Age Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 3.1K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Age Clock's written reviews are positive against 82% of Countdown's.

Age Clock ships an update every 21 months, Countdown weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
