# Countdown Widget vs Countdown Widget

Countdown Widget's advantage is ratings volume (9.5K vs 26) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Widget sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Countdown Widget sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Countdown Widget against 4.6 for Countdown Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget has 9.5K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two.
