ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Count This holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Count This has 8.3K ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Count This's written reviews are positive against 40% of Count Things Object Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Count This ships an update monthly, Count Things Object Counter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
