# Countdown vs Creatine Meter

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Creatine Meter at none against Countdown's 18. Creatine Meter also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Creatine Meter asks for nothing beyond the download.

Creatine Meter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 3.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Countdown's written reviews are positive against 100% of Creatine Meter's.
