# Countdown vs Ahead

The clearest difference is device support: Countdown at 4 against Ahead's 2. Countdown also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
