# Inventory Now vs Inventory Count

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Inventory Now at 694 against Inventory Count's 8. Inventory Now also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Inventory Count's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inventory Now sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and Inventory Count sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Inventory Now holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Now has 694 ratings behind it against 8, 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 Inventory Count'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, Inventory Count every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
