Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Days at weekly against Countdowns ※'s every 27 months. Days also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 23). Countdowns ※'s advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (83% vs 73%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Days sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Countdowns ※ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 13K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Days's written reviews are positive against 83% of Countdowns ※'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Days ships an update weekly, Countdowns ※ every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
