# Day Counter . vs Countdown!

The clearest difference is rating: Day Counter . at 4.8 against Countdown!'s 3.5. Day Counter . also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Countdown!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Day Counter . sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Countdown! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Day Counter . holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Day Counter . has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Day Counter .'s written reviews are positive against 92% of Countdown!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
