# Conexum vs Countdown Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Conexum at 5.0 against Countdown Widget's 4.4. Conexum also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and device support (3 vs 1). Countdown Widget's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and ratings volume (142 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Conexum sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdown Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Conexum holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget has 142 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Conexum's written reviews are positive against 25% of Countdown Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Conexum ships an update every 2 months, Countdown Widget every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
