# Countdown vs MyDays

The clearest difference is update cadence: Countdown at weekly against MyDays's every 2 months. Countdown also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 23) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and MyDays sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 24K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Countdown's written reviews are positive against 70% of MyDays's.

Countdown ships an update weekly, MyDays every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
