Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Countdown Widget Plus at 4.7 against Events Countdown Tracker's 3.8. Countdown Widget Plus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Events Countdown Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Events Countdown Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdown Widget Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Countdown Widget Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget Plus has 217 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Events Countdown Tracker's written reviews are positive against 71% of Countdown Widget Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Events Countdown Tracker ships an update every 4 months, Countdown Widget Plus monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
