# Taptic vs GP Counter

The clearest difference is ads: Taptic at none against GP Counter's shown. Taptic also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (76% vs 50%). GP Counter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Taptic sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and GP Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GP Counter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taptic has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Taptic'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.

Taptic ships an update monthly, GP Counter every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
