# GamingBuddy vs GTA Countdown

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GTA Countdown at none against GamingBuddy's 3. GTA Countdown also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). GamingBuddy's advantage is ratings volume (201 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GamingBuddy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. GTA Countdown asks for nothing beyond the download.

GTA Countdown holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GamingBuddy has 201 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
