# Tap Tap Counter vs Simple Counter Application

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Counter Application at 100% against Tap Tap Counter's 55%. Simple Counter Application also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). Tap Tap Counter's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (192 vs 1).
