Verdict

The call

Day Countdown & Event Counter and Countdown widget both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Countdown widget's written reviews are positive against 30% of Day Countdown & Event Counter's. Countdown widget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 39). Day Countdown & Event Counter's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Day Countdown & Event Counter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Countdown widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Day Countdown & Event Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown widget has 1.3K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Day Countdown & Event Counter's written reviews are positive against 88% of Countdown widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
