Plumb's | Standards holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plumb's | Standards has 3.3K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of WBC Counter's written reviews are positive against 57% of Plumb's | Standards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WBC Counter ships an update every 4 days, Plumb's | Standards every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
