Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: InstantLog at 5.0 against Counter +'s 4.2. InstantLog also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Counter +'s advantage is ratings volume (393 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
