# R vs Count This

The clearest difference is rating: R at 5.0 against Count This's 4.3. R also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Count This's advantage is ratings volume (8.3K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Count This sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. R asks for nothing beyond the download.

R holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Count This has 8.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of R's written reviews are positive against 11% of Count This's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

R ships an update every 5 months, Count This monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
