Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown & Count Up Timer at none against MyDays's 3. Countdown & Count Up Timer also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 23). MyDays's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Countdown & Count Up Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown & Count Up Timer has 2.3K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Countdown & Count Up Timer's written reviews are positive against 70% of MyDays's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Countdown & Count Up Timer ships an update every 10 days, MyDays every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
