# Days vs Photo Countdown Widget

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Photo Countdown Widget at none against Days's 19. Photo Countdown Widget also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Days's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads 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. Photo Countdown Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.

Photo Countdown Widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Days's written reviews are positive against 100% of Photo Countdown Widget's.

Days ships an update every 5 days, Photo Countdown Widget every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
