Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TimeCount at 4.6 against Final Countdown's 2.3. TimeCount also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). 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 Final Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TimeCount holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeCount has 25K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
