# Tap vs Multi Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Tap at 4.7 against Multi Counter's 3.7. Tap also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Multi Counter's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Multi Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tap asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tap holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tap has 25 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Tap's written reviews are positive against 100% of Multi Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tap ships an update every 6 weeks, Multi Counter every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
