# Count This vs Count Things Object Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Count This at 4.3 against Count Things Object Counter's 3.4. Count This also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8.3K vs 68). Count Things Object Counter's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (40% vs 11%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Count This sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Count Things Object Counter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
