# Countdown+++ vs C

The clearest difference is price: C at Free against Countdown+++'s $0.99. Countdown+++'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 2). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

C is free to download; Countdown+++ costs $0.99 up front. Countdown+++ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and C sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Countdown+++ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown+++ has 5.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Countdown+++'s written reviews are positive against 64% of C's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
