# Days vs Countdown to Everything

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown to Everything at none against Days's 19. Countdown to Everything also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Days's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Countdown to Everything asks for nothing beyond the download.

Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Days's written reviews are positive against 100% of Countdown to Everything'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, Countdown to Everything every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
