# Countdown Widget Maker vs Love Widgets

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown Widget Maker at 79% against Love Widgets's 8%. Countdown Widget Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 50). Love Widgets's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Widget Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months and Love Widgets sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget Maker has 5.6K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two.
