# Die vs Countdown

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown at none against Die's 1. Countdown also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Die's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Die ships an update every 3 weeks, Countdown daily. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
