# RSVP vs Countdown Widget & Counter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown Widget & Counter at 76% against RSVP's 0%. Countdown Widget & Counter also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.5) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 6). RSVP's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
