CounTik's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 42%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CounTik sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Tally Counter° sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
