# Countdown+++ vs SinceUntil

The clearest difference is price: SinceUntil at Free against Countdown+++'s $0.99. SinceUntil also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Countdown+++'s advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

SinceUntil is free to download; Countdown+++ costs $0.99 up front. Countdown+++ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SinceUntil sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SinceUntil holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. 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 100% of SinceUntil's.

Countdown+++ ships an update every 3 weeks, SinceUntil every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
