Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NABP at none against Course Counter's 4. NABP also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (658 vs 4). Course Counter's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (33% vs 21%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NABP holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NABP has 658 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of NABP's written reviews are positive against 33% of Course Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NABP ships an update every 5 weeks, Course Counter every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
