Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tally at 4.7 against Counter +'s 4.2. Tally also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 390). Counter +'s advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 61%). 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 Tally sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 390 and 1.7K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 61% of Tally's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Counter + ships an update every 2 weeks, Tally fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
