# Day Counter widget vs Countdown!

The clearest difference is rating: Day Counter widget at 4.8 against Countdown!'s 3.5. Day Counter widget also leads on ratings volume (87 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). Countdown!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (92% vs 83%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Day Counter widget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Countdown! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Day Counter widget holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Day Counter widget has 87 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Day Counter widget'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.
