# Count. vs Counter Professional+

The clearest difference is rating: Counter Professional+ at 4.5 against Count.'s 3.8. Counter Professional+ also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 5). Count.'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Counter Professional+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Count. asks for nothing beyond the download.

Counter Professional+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter Professional+ has 36 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Count.'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Counter Professional+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Count. ships an update every 5 months, Counter Professional+ every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
