Both are free to download. Event Countdown Timer & Widget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and Dayfall sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dayfall holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Event Countdown Timer & Widget's written reviews are positive against 0% of Dayfall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Event Countdown Timer & Widget ships an update every 2 months, Dayfall monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
