# Prostration Counter vs Phala

The clearest difference is rating: Phala at 5.0 against Prostration Counter's 4.7. Phala also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Prostration Counter's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prostration Counter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Phala sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Phala holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prostration Counter has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Prostration Counter ships an update every 3 weeks, Phala fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
