# RepCount vs IronStack

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RepCount at 13K against IronStack's 6. IronStack's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and IronStack sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for RepCount against 4.8 for IronStack. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 13K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of RepCount's written reviews are positive against 100% of IronStack's.

RepCount ships an update every 2 weeks, IronStack every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
