# MyCountdown vs TimeCount

The clearest difference is rating: TimeCount at 4.6 against MyCountdown's 3.3. TimeCount also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). MyCountdown's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyCountdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TimeCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeCount holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3.
