Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: YT Widget at every 4 days against YTCount's every 2 months. YT Widget also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). YTCount's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YTCount sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and YT Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

YT Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YTCount has 3.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of YTCount's written reviews are positive against 25% of YT Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

YTCount ships an update every 2 months, YT Widget every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
