# Counter + vs Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Counter at 5.0 against Counter +'s 4.2. Counter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Counter +'s advantage is ratings volume (391 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Counter 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, 5.0 against 4.2. 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: 74% of Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 69% of Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Counter + ships an update fortnightly, Counter weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
