# Countdown ◉ vs Countdown

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown ◉ at none against Countdown's 1. Countdown ◉ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 18). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Countdown ◉ against 4.6 for Countdown. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown ◉ has 2.4K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Countdown ◉'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Countdown's.
