# Countdown List vs TodayOne

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TodayOne at 100% against Countdown List's 57%. TodayOne also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). Countdown List's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown List sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TodayOne sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TodayOne holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown List has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Countdown List's written reviews are positive against 100% of TodayOne's.

Countdown List ships an update every 3 months, TodayOne every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
