# DartCounter vs Updraft

The clearest difference is ratings volume: DartCounter at 2K against Updraft's 1. Updraft's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DartCounter sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Updraft sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Updraft holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DartCounter has 2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
