# Countdown Widget & Counter vs Point in time

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Point in time at none against Countdown Widget & Counter's 10. Point in time also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Countdown Widget & Counter's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 5) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Widget & Counter sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Point in time asks for nothing beyond the download.

Countdown Widget & Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget & Counter has 2.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Countdown Widget & Counter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Point in time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
