Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Counter at 83% against GP Counter's 50%. Smart Counter also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (307 vs 2). GP Counter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GP Counter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Counter has 307 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Smart Counter's written reviews are positive against 50% of GP Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smart Counter ships an update weekly, GP Counter every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
