# Eventime vs Countdowns

The clearest difference is rating: Countdowns at 4.7 against Eventime's 4.4. Countdowns also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.7 vs 26.0). Eventime's advantage is ratings volume (266 vs 47). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eventime sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdowns sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Countdowns holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eventime has 266 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Eventime's written reviews are positive against 50% of Countdowns's.

Eventime ships an update every 5 weeks, Countdowns every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
