CountMeSilly is the only counting/tally app you will ever need! CountMeSilly has a beautifully simplistic interface that allows you to count anything with ease. Customisations can be made to the counter's name and colour, and you can even have your counters reset back to zero on a daily, weekly, monthly, or custom timeframe that suits you. CountMeSilly is also fully accessible using VoiceOver. CountMeSilly can be used to keep count/tally of anything you'd like, including: - Tracking the amount you've drunk that day. - Counting how many people are entering or leaving. - Logging your step count to compare daily trends. - Keeping score in board game matches. And much more, the possibilities are endless! The free version of CountMeSilly allows you to create 2 counters with limited customisation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CountMeSilly at none against Smart Counter's shown. Smart Counter's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 24 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
