# Count This vs Counter

Count This and Counter both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Count This's written reviews are positive against 67% of Counter's. Counter's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 26 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Count This sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Counter sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Count This against 4.7 for Counter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter has 47 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Count This's written reviews are positive against 67% of Counter's.

Count This ships an update every 26 months, Counter every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
