# QuickCount vs Dot Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Dot Counter at 5.0 against QuickCount's 4.1. QuickCount's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickCount sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 per 7 days and Dot Counter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dot Counter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuickCount has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

QuickCount ships an update every 2 weeks, Dot Counter every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
