# Count This vs Tally

Count This and Tally both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Count This's written reviews are positive against 61% of Tally's. Count This also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). Tally's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 4). 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 Tally sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. 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 Tally. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 1.8K 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 61% of Tally's.

Count This ships an update every 26 months, Tally fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
