Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown Widget Maker at 79% against Event Countdown's 0%. Countdown Widget Maker also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 108). Event Countdown's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Event Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget Maker has 5.6K ratings behind it against 108, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Countdown Widget Maker's written reviews are positive against 0% of Event Countdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
