# Momento vs Countdown

The clearest difference is rating: Momento at 5.0 against Countdown's 4.3. Momento also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Momento sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdown sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Momento holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
