Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown widget at 88% against Countdown Days's 25%. Countdown widget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 26). Countdown Days's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Countdown Days sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdown widget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Countdown Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown widget has 1.3K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Countdown Days's written reviews are positive against 88% of Countdown widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Countdown Days ships an update every 8 days, Countdown widget weekly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
