# Eventime vs Countdown

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eventime at 46% against Countdown's 0%. Eventime also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.2) and ads (none vs shown). Countdown's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Eventime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eventime has 266 ratings behind it against 9, 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 0% of Countdown's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
