# Countdown vs CountdownZen

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: CountdownZen at 15.1 against Countdown's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and CountdownZen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
