Your next birthday is 127 days away. Your wedding? 43. That vacation you've been dreaming about? Just 12. Countsy puts a beautiful countdown widget on your Home Screen and Lock Screen so every glance at your phone reminds you: something great is coming. WIDGETS THAT LIVE WHERE YOU LOOK Add countdown widgets directly to your Home Screen and Lock Screen. No need to open the app -- your days, hours, and minutes update in real time, right where you'll see them. Choose the widget size and layout that fits your screen, and decide exactly what each one shows. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from colors, themes, and premium fonts to design countdowns that match your style. Whether you prefer minimal and clean or bold and colorful, every widget feels personal. Switch between light and dark themes, or let your countdown follow your system appearance automatically. COUNT DOWN TOGETHER Anniversaries, the day you met, the trip you're taking together -- some dates mean more when they're shared. Create a countdown, style it, and send it to the people who are waiting for the same day you are. FOR EVERY KIND OF WAITING Exams and semester breaks. A move to a new city. A flight, a concert, a product launch. A birthday, a wedding, a retirement date. If you're counting the days to it, Countsy has a widget for it. EVERY YEAR, AUTOMATICALLY Set any event to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Birthdays, anniversaries, and paydays roll over to the next date on their own, so your countdown is always ready for the next one. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Get notified as your big days approach. Set alerts for key milestones -- a month out, a week away, the day before -- so you're always prepared, never surprised. LOOK BACK, TOO When a date passes, it moves to your past events, showing how long ago it happened. The day you started something, the last time you traveled -- the moments behind you stay just as visible as the ones ahead. SAFE & SYNCED Cloud backup keeps your countdowns secure and accessible across your devices. Switch phones or restore from backup without losing a single date.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Countsy at 4.7 against Alarm Clock's 3.9. Countsy also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 7). Alarm Clock's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countsy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Alarm Clock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Countsy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countsy has 105 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Countsy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alarm Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
