Verdict

The call

Counter and Tally both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of Counter's written reviews are positive against 60% of Tally's. Tally's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 62). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
