# MyType vs Countdown Widget

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyType at none against Countdown Widget's 1. MyType also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Countdown Widget's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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

MyType holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget has 64 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of MyType's written reviews are positive against 69% of Countdown Widget's.

MyType ships an update every 2 weeks, Countdown Widget every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
