Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Counter+. at none against Tally's 3. Counter+. also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 18.5). Tally's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
