# Counter vs D3

The clearest difference is rating: D3 at 5.0 against Counter's 4.4. D3 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). Counter's advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 2). 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 D3 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

D3 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter has 69 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Counter ships an update monthly, D3 weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
