# Counter vs CountTogether

The clearest difference is update cadence: CountTogether at weekly against Counter's monthly. CountTogether also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Counter's advantage is ratings volume (62 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days 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 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter has 62 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Counter ships an update monthly, CountTogether weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 20, 2026 and August 3, 2026 respectively.
