# Fishful vs Countdown

The clearest difference is price: Countdown at Free against Fishful's $0.99. Countdown also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Countdown is free to download; Fishful costs $0.99 up front. Fishful sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdown sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
