Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Telesto at 4.7 against Inventory Count's 4.5. Telesto also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Inventory Count's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Telesto holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Telesto's written reviews are positive against 100% of Inventory Count's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Telesto ships an update every 3 weeks, Inventory Count every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
