Counter uses an avant-garde neumorphic design that makes every button irresistible to tap. Each screen in the app takes a different design approach, keeping the app visually varied and interesting while staying easy to use. Create as many counters as you need — for habits, scores, goals, or anything else you're tallying. Tap to count up, or enter an exact number, including decimals, straight from the keyboard. Every change is saved to a full history, so you can always see what happened and when. Sort your counters by name or last modified, and the screen stays awake while you count. Your counters sync across devices via iCloud, and a Home Screen widget keeps your favorite counter one glance away. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Counter at Free against Advanced's $0.99. Advanced's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
