# Countdown Widget Maker vs Momento

The clearest difference is update cadence: Momento at weekly against Countdown Widget Maker's every 2 months. Momento also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Countdown Widget Maker's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 9) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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 Momento sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Countdown Widget Maker against 4.7 for Momento. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget Maker has 5.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Countdown Widget Maker ships an update every 2 months, Momento weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
