# Countdown! vs Countdown Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Countdown Widget at 4.6 against Countdown!'s 4.0. Countdown Widget also leads on ratings volume (36 vs 3). Countdown!'s advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 50%) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Widget sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Countdown! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Countdown Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget has 36 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Countdown!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Countdown Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
