# CountOnly vs Day Counter Pro

The clearest difference is ads: CountOnly at none against Day Counter Pro's shown. CountOnly also leads on ratings volume (262 vs 36) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Day Counter Pro's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CountOnly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Day Counter Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for CountOnly against 4.8 for Day Counter Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CountOnly has 262 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of CountOnly's written reviews are positive against 100% of Day Counter Pro's.

CountOnly ships an update every 5 weeks, Day Counter Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
