# Counter Tally Count vs Scoreboard

The clearest difference is ads: Scoreboard at none against Counter Tally Count's shown. Counter Tally Count's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (14K vs 360). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter Tally Count sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Scoreboard sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Counter Tally Count holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter Tally Count has 14K ratings behind it against 360, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Counter Tally Count's written reviews are positive against 80% of Scoreboard's.

Counter Tally Count ships an update every 3 weeks, Scoreboard every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
