# MyDays vs Countdown

The clearest difference is rating: MyDays at 4.4 against Countdown's 3.7. MyDays also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 55%) and ratings volume (23 vs 3). Countdown's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyDays sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Countdown asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyDays holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyDays has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of MyDays's written reviews are positive against 55% of Countdown's.

MyDays ships an update every 2 months, Countdown every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
