# Multi vs Smart Counter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Counter at 79% against Multi's 8%. Smart Counter also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (311 vs 7). Multi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Multi asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Counter has 311 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 8% of Multi's written reviews are positive against 79% of Smart Counter's.
