# Counter + vs Count That Now

The clearest difference is rating: Count That Now at 4.7 against Counter +'s 4.2. Count That Now also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 393) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18). Counter +'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (74% vs 60%). On price, ads, 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 Count That Now sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Count That Now holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Count That Now has 5.6K ratings behind it against 393, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 60% of Count That Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Counter + ships an update fortnightly, Count That Now every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
