# Countdown vs Ahead

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ahead at none against Countdown's 2. Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Ahead asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Countdown against 5.0 for Ahead.
