# Counter + vs Simple Counter Application

The clearest difference is rating: Counter + at 4.2 against Simple Counter Application's 1.0. Counter + also leads on ratings volume (391 vs 1). Simple Counter Application's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Simple Counter Application 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 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter + has 391 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Counter Application's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Counter + ships an update fortnightly, Simple Counter Application monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
