# Counters 2 vs Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Counter at 4.7 against Counters 2's 2.6. Counter also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 20 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counters 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Counter sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter has 47 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Counters 2's written reviews are positive against 67% of Counter's.

Counters 2 ships an update every 20 months, Counter every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
