# 时间规划局 vs Countdown

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 时间规划局 at 196 against Countdown's 2. 时间规划局 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 时间规划局 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Countdown sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

时间规划局 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 时间规划局 has 196 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

时间规划局 ships an update every 3 weeks, Countdown every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
