# Tally vs CountTogether

The clearest difference is rating: CountTogether at 4.8 against Tally's 4.4. CountTogether also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Tally's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 11) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tally sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and CountTogether sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CountTogether holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 4.1K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tally ships an update every 2 months, CountTogether weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 3, 2026 respectively.
