# Countr vs Countess

The clearest difference is rating: Countess at 5.0 against Countr's 4.4. Countess also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Countr's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countr sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.69 per month and Countess sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Countess holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countr has 43 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Countr's written reviews are positive against 100% of Countess's.

Countr ships an update every 5 weeks, Countess every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
