# LifeTicker vs Event Countdown Checker

The clearest difference is rating: Event Countdown Checker at 5.0 against LifeTicker's 4.6. Event Countdown Checker also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). LifeTicker's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LifeTicker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Event Countdown Checker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Event Countdown Checker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LifeTicker has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
