Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Days at 4.8 against Events Countdown Tracker's 3.8. Days also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). Events Countdown Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Events Countdown Tracker 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Days's written reviews are positive against 100% of Events Countdown Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Days ships an update every 5 days, Events Countdown Tracker every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
