# Countdown Pro vs UnblockPiP

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Countdown Pro at 81% against UnblockPiP's 17%. Countdown Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). UnblockPiP's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and UnblockPiP sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UnblockPiP holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Countdown Pro's written reviews are positive against 17% of UnblockPiP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Countdown Pro ships an update every 4 days, UnblockPiP every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
