Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Counters 2 at 53% against Counter's 3%. Counters 2 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Counter's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 20 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counters 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Counter sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter has 1.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Counters 2's written reviews are positive against 3% of Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Counters 2 ships an update every 20 months, Counter weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
