# TimeCount vs Final Countdown

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.

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.

TimeCount ships an update every 9 days, Final Countdown every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
