# TimeCount vs Countdown Widget & Days

The clearest difference is rating: TimeCount at 4.6 against Countdown Widget & Days's 3.8. TimeCount also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 6) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Countdown Widget & Days's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Countdown Widget & Days sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeCount holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeCount has 24K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of TimeCount's written reviews are positive against 100% of Countdown Widget & Days's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TimeCount ships an update weekly, Countdown Widget & Days every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
