# Birthday Countdown ‎ vs Baby Countdown

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Birthday Countdown ‎ at 82% against Baby Countdown's 27%. Baby Countdown's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Birthday Countdown ‎ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and Baby Countdown sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Baby Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 1.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Birthday Countdown ‎'s written reviews are positive against 27% of Baby Countdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Birthday Countdown ‎ ships an update every 3 months, Baby Countdown every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
