DayCount counts the days to the things you are waiting for, and puts them on your Lock Screen and Home Screen without asking you to pay for it. THE WIDGETS ARE FREE Every widget is included and none of them is behind a purchase: - Home Screen small, medium and large. The large one lists your next four events. - Lock Screen circular, rectangular and inline. - They show the event, the emoji and the days left, in the colour you picked. That should not be a selling point. In this category it is. FREE, FOREVER - As many countdowns as you want - A colour and an emoji for every one - Repeating events for birthdays and anniversaries, which roll to next year on their own - A notification on the day - Sort by date or drag them into the order you want - Edit or delete any countdown, any time - Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up BUILT FOR THE DATES THAT MATTER Birthdays, a flight, a due date, an exam, the end of a lease, a wedding, the last day of a job. Add it once and DayCount does the counting. WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND No ads. No account to create. No limit on how many countdowns you keep. No paywall in front of the widget.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DayCount at none against Countdown's 1. DayCount also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
