# Countdown vs Pirate Watch

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pirate Watch at none against Countdown's 2. Pirate Watch also leads on ads (none vs shown). Countdown's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Pirate Watch asks for nothing beyond the download.
