Both are free to download. EorzeaTime sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Phantom Countdown sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EorzeaTime holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 196 and 276 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of EorzeaTime's written reviews are positive against 83% of Phantom Countdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EorzeaTime ships an update every 6 weeks, Phantom Countdown every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
