# Counter + vs Counter≜

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Counter≜ at none against Counter +'s 1. Counter≜ also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 390). Counter +'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 65%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Counter≜ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Counter≜ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter≜ has 2.5K ratings behind it against 390, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 65% of Counter≜'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Counter + ships an update every 2 weeks, Counter≜ every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
