# Countdown@ vs MailsGuru

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MailsGuru at none against Countdown@'s 1. MailsGuru also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Countdown@'s advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

MailsGuru holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown@ has 40K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
