# The Counter++ vs Keyboard Extension

The clearest difference is rating: Keyboard Extension at 4.9 against The Counter++'s 3.0. Keyboard Extension also leads on ratings volume (31 vs 2). The Counter++'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Keyboard Extension sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. The Counter++ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Keyboard Extension holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keyboard Extension has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of The Counter++'s written reviews are positive against 92% of Keyboard Extension's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Counter++ ships an update every 3 weeks, Keyboard Extension monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
