# DinStats vs Smart Counter

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DinStats at none against Smart Counter's 1. DinStats also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Smart Counter's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (311 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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

DinStats holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Counter has 311 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DinStats ships an update every 4 months, Smart Counter weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
