# Countdown vs Simple CountDown

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple CountDown at none against Countdown's 1. Simple CountDown also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Countdown's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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