Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Counter at 4.6 against UP's 4.0. Counter also leads on ratings volume (62 vs 4). UP's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and UP sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter has 62 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Counter's written reviews are positive against 83% of UP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Counter ships an update monthly, UP every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 20, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
