# Countdown vs Room Planner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown at 82% against Room Planner's 38%. Countdown also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Room Planner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 3.1K ratings behind it against 72, 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 38% of Room Planner's.

Countdown ships an update weekly, Room Planner fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
