# Tap vs Count

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tap at none against Count's 2. Count's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Count sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Tap asks for nothing beyond the download.

Count holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Tap's written reviews are positive against 47% of Count's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tap ships an update every 76 months, Count every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
