# Countdown@ vs TimeTime

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimeTime at 78% against Countdown@'s 37%. TimeTime also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Countdown@'s advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 5) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown@ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. TimeTime asks for nothing beyond the download.

Countdown@ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown@ has 40K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Countdown@'s written reviews are positive against 78% of TimeTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
