Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Deadline at 4.7 against Countdown App's 3.0. Deadline also leads on ads (none vs shown). Countdown App's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Countdown App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Deadline sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Deadline holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown App has 36K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Countdown App's written reviews are positive against 50% of Deadline's.
Countdown App ships an update every 6 weeks, Deadline monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
