# Countdown vs My Tutor

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Tutor at none against Countdown's 6. My Tutor also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. My Tutor asks for nothing beyond the download.
