Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Countdown at every 2 weeks against Countdown Widget Timer's every 6 weeks. Countdown also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 43%). Countdown Widget Timer's advantage is ratings volume (484 vs 51). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Countdown sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Countdown Widget Timer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Countdown Widget Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget Timer has 484 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Countdown's written reviews are positive against 43% of Countdown Widget Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Countdown ships an update every 2 weeks, Countdown Widget Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
