Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WordPress at 4.6 against Statcounter's 3.0. WordPress also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 27) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Statcounter's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WordPress holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordPress has 22K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of WordPress's written reviews are positive against 43% of Statcounter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WordPress ships an update every 3 weeks, Statcounter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
