Both are free to download. Countdown Widget Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months and Countdown Widgets sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Countdown Widget Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget Maker has 5.6K ratings behind it against 44, 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 90% of Countdown Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Countdown Widget Maker ships an update every 2 months, Countdown Widgets monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
