# CountDown Reminder vs Event Countdown Checker

The clearest difference is rating: Event Countdown Checker at 5.0 against CountDown Reminder's 4.4. Event Countdown Checker also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). CountDown Reminder's advantage is ratings volume (119 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CountDown Reminder sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Event Countdown Checker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
