# Counter + vs Record Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: Record Tracker at 4.8 against Counter +'s 4.2. Record Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Counter +'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (391 vs 13). 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 Record Tracker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Record Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter + has 391 ratings behind it against 13, 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 100% of Record Tracker's.

Counter + ships an update fortnightly, Record Tracker every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
