# Counter vs Counter #

The clearest difference is ads: Counter # at none against Counter's shown. Counter # also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 15 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Counter ships an update every 15 months, Counter # every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
