Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Counter Application at 100% against Tally's 50%. Simple Counter Application also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). Tally's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (31 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Simple Counter Application sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tally sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 31 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Simple Counter Application's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tally's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
