The call

The clearest difference is price: CountMyRounds at Free against Ballistic X's $7.99. CountMyRounds also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Ballistic X's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (140 vs 1). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CountMyRounds holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballistic X has 140 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Ballistic X's written reviews are positive against 50% of CountMyRounds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ballistic X ships an update every 3 weeks, CountMyRounds every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
