Both are free to download. Countdown Widget sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.00 per month and Countdown Events sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Countdown Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 42 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Countdown Widget's written reviews are positive against 60% of Countdown Events's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Countdown Widget ships an update every 5 days, Countdown Events every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
