# Photo cleaner vs Countdown Widget

Photo cleaner and Countdown Widget both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of Countdown Widget's written reviews are positive against 20% of Photo cleaner's. Countdown Widget also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and device support (4 vs 1). Photo cleaner's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo cleaner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Countdown Widget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 163 and 67 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Photo cleaner's written reviews are positive against 69% of Countdown Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Photo cleaner ships an update every 2 days, Countdown Widget every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
