# 万年历 vs Countdown to Zero

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown to Zero at none against 万年历's 10. Countdown to Zero also leads on ads (none vs shown). 万年历's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 50) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 万年历 sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Countdown to Zero asks for nothing beyond the download.
