Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Counter Widget 26 at 87% against Tally's 61%. Counter Widget 26 also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.5). Tally's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tally sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Counter Widget 26 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 1.7K ratings behind it against 195, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 87% of Counter Widget 26's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tally ships an update fortnightly, Counter Widget 26 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
