# Simple Calendar vs Countdown

The clearest difference is ads: Countdown at none against Simple Calendar's shown. Simple Calendar's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Calendar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Countdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
