# Noel vs Christmas Countdown! + Music

The clearest difference is monetization model: Christmas Countdown! + Music at free against Noel's free with in-app purchases. Christmas Countdown! + Music also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 17.0). Noel's advantage is ratings volume (84 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Christmas Countdown! + Music sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Christmas Countdown! + Music holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noel has 84 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
