# Smart Score Counter vs Score ±

The clearest difference is rating: Score ± at 5.0 against Smart Score Counter's 4.5. Score ± also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Smart Score Counter's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Score Counter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Score ± sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Score ± holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Score Counter has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Smart Score Counter ships an update every 2 weeks, Score ± every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
