# Tally Counter° vs U

The clearest difference is rating: U at 5.0 against Tally Counter°'s 4.5. Tally Counter°'s advantage is ratings volume (296 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tally Counter° sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and U sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally Counter° has 296 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tally Counter° ships an update every 2 weeks, U fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
