# Day Counter vs TimeCount

The clearest difference is ads: TimeCount at none against Day Counter's shown. TimeCount also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 105). Day Counter's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Day Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TimeCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Day Counter against 4.6 for TimeCount. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeCount has 24K ratings behind it against 105, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Day Counter's written reviews are positive against 79% of TimeCount's.

Day Counter ships an update every 2 months, TimeCount weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
