# Countdown vs Cute Countdown

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cute Countdown at none against Countdown's 1. Cute Countdown also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cute Countdown asks for nothing beyond the download.
