# Day Counter vs Count Days

The clearest difference is ads: Count Days at none against Day Counter's shown. Count Days also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Day Counter's advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Day Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Count Days sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Count Days holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Day Counter has 105 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Day Counter ships an update every 2 months, Count Days every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
