Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tally at 4.7 against Simple Counter Application's 1.0. Tally also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Simple Counter Application's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.5). 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 Simple Counter Application sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Counter Application's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tally ships an update fortnightly, Simple Counter Application monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
