FizzCounter is a simple offline app for households that make sparkling water at home and want to keep track of their CO₂ cylinder. Set up your equipment, start a cylinder, log sparkling bottles and see how much CO₂ may still remain. FizzCounter helps you understand your bottle count, cylinder use and everyday costs, including estimated cost per bottle and cost per litre. You can also record real cylinder weight readings, so future estimates can better reflect your own household use instead of relying only on broad manufacturer claims. The guided Fizzing Assistant helps with supported setups by walking you through cold-water preparation, attaching the bottle and following timed carbonation prompts. Sounds and vibrations can be turned on or off in Settings. Features: • Track your active CO₂ cylinder • Keep spare and finished cylinders • Log sparkling bottles manually • Use guided fizzing with timed prompts • Estimate remaining CO₂ and cylinder weight • Record cylinder weight readings • View bottle and cylinder history • Track refill and replacement costs • See estimated cost per bottle and per litre • Track more than one bottle at home • View simple usage charts • Export reports • Back up and restore your local app data • Restore a backup during first setup • Choose English, Polish or system language • Use light, dark or system theme • Works fully offline FizzCounter is private by design. It does not require an account, does not contain adverts, does not use analytics, does not track you and does not send your data to our servers. Your app data is stored locally on your device. Exporting or sharing data only happens when you choose it. Your device’s normal system backup may include FizzCounter’s local app data if you have device backup enabled. This is not live sync, and FizzCounter does not provide cloud syncing. FizzCounter is an independent utility app. It can be used with selected compatible home sparkling-water setups, but it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by SodaStream or any sparkling water brand. SodaStream is a trademark of its owner. Estimates are for household tracking only.

The clearest difference is update cadence: FizzCounter at every 2 days against LabCom's every 6 weeks. LabCom's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
