Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Counter at Free against ColorTask's $0.99. Counter also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 17 months) and review sentiment (79% vs 50%). ColorTask's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ColorTask holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter has 62 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ColorTask's written reviews are positive against 79% of Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ColorTask ships an update every 17 months, Counter monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
