Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Days at none against Countdown's shown. Days also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (12K vs 51). Countdown's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of Countdown's written reviews are positive against 73% of Days's.
Countdown ships an update every 2 weeks, Days every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
