Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Newsletter Reader at Free against RowCounter's $0.99. Newsletter Reader also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (62 vs 1). RowCounter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RowCounter holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Newsletter Reader has 62 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of RowCounter's written reviews are positive against 65% of Newsletter Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RowCounter ships an update every 12 months, Newsletter Reader monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 9, 2026 respectively.
