# Inventory Now vs SwiftCount

The clearest difference is rating: Inventory Now at 4.7 against SwiftCount's 1.8. Inventory Now also leads on ratings volume (694 vs 5). SwiftCount's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inventory Now sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month. SwiftCount asks for nothing beyond the download.

Inventory Now holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Now has 694 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Inventory Now's written reviews are positive against 100% of SwiftCount's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Inventory Now ships an update every 5 days, SwiftCount weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
