# Widget Countdown vs Momento

The clearest difference is rating: Momento at 4.7 against Widget Countdown's 4.0. Momento also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Widget Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 9). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Momento sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Momento holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Countdown has 54 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Widget Countdown ships an update monthly, Momento weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
