# DartCounter vs PDC

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DartCounter at 65% against PDC's 14%. DartCounter also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and ads (none vs shown). PDC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DartCounter sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. PDC asks for nothing beyond the download.

DartCounter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DartCounter has 2K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of DartCounter's written reviews are positive against 14% of PDC's.

DartCounter ships an update weekly, PDC every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
