# Counter + vs Counters 2

The clearest difference is rating: Counter + at 4.2 against Counters 2's 2.6. Counter + also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (390 vs 7). Counters 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Counters 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Counter + holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter + has 390 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 53% of Counters 2's.

Counter + ships an update fortnightly, Counters 2 every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
