# CountX vs LockRemind

The clearest difference is price: CountX at Free against LockRemind's $1.99. CountX also leads on ratings volume (85 vs 8). LockRemind's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

CountX is free to download; LockRemind costs $1.99 up front. CountX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. LockRemind asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for CountX against 4.8 for LockRemind. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CountX has 85 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

CountX ships an update fortnightly, LockRemind weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
