# TimeCount vs Countdown：Widget & Day Counter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimeCount at 79% against Countdown：Widget & Day Counter's 20%. TimeCount also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (24K vs 38). Countdown：Widget & Day Counter's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 & Day Counter sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
