# Countdown vs DeskFocus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DeskFocus at 100% against Countdown's 57%. DeskFocus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (118 vs 2) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads 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. DeskFocus asks for nothing beyond the download.

DeskFocus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 118 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Countdown's written reviews are positive against 100% of DeskFocus's.
