Welm is a to-do list / task manager that's not for the faint-hearted. It's stark, unapologetic, and built to help you take control of your day, stay focused, and do what truly matters. Most productivity apps (like humans) try to do everything - tags, projects, subtasks, automations - until managing the system becomes its own task. Welm says Skitsnack. It's deliberately simple and rigid, with just enough constraints to keep you honest about what actually matters today, instead of letting your to-do list quietly turn into a second job. How it works: — Simple tasks: No smart lists, tags or nested logic to manage. Tasks are meant to be done, not sit beautifully in a database. — Three buckets: Now, Next, Later. That's it. — Finish what's in front of you: Your buckets only hold so much. The only way to do more things is by clearing your tasks. Welm isn't trying to be your friend (it can sometimes be a little rude). It isn't trying to organize and automate your entire life. It's simply making sure the few things that matter to you get done. At least that's what it tells us.

Countpad is a small, fast inventory tracker for people who just need the numbers to be right. Open it, add your items, and count. Tap + or − straight from the list, or tap the number to type it in when there are 143 of something. That is the whole idea. WHAT IT DOES • Count from the list — increase or decrease without opening a detail screen • Type a quantity directly when tapping would be slower • Scan a barcode to jump to an item, or to create one with the barcode attached • Search instantly across name, barcode, category and unit • Filter by category, or by what is in stock and what has run out • Create a report in one tap — a clean PDF and a CSV, ready to share or print • Back up everything to one portable file, and restore it later • Add a photo when two items look alike, and a unit cost when you want the report to total it COUNT TOGETHER (OPTIONAL) Shared inventory lets several people count one stock list at the same time, each on their own phone, with every change appearing on everyone else's screen. Two people counting the same shelf add up — the app never lets one person's count overwrite another's. A shared inventory is always live, so it needs a connection — your own inventory keeps working offline. WORKS WITHOUT A CONNECTION Counting, search, filters, reports, export and backup all work in airplane mode, in a stockroom with no signal, in a basement. Your inventory stays on your device unless you choose to share it — and if you do, it goes to your shared inventory and nowhere else. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and start counting. An account is only ever created if you switch on the shared inventory, and you can delete it from inside the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://gist.github.com/hjatupon/21ebe78638c416a5373e3b1a766eb433

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countpad at none against Welm's 1. Countpad also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Welm's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
