# Event Countdown vs Countdown Widget + Calendar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown Widget + Calendar at 50% against Event Countdown's 0%. Event Countdown's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Event Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdown Widget + Calendar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Event Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 108 and 46 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Event Countdown's written reviews are positive against 50% of Countdown Widget + Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
