# Sun Facts vs Daylight

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daylight at none against Sun Facts's 1. Daylight also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Sun Facts's advantage is review sentiment (97% vs 80%) and ratings volume (298 vs 19). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sun Facts sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Daylight asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Sun Facts against 4.9 for Daylight. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sun Facts has 298 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of Sun Facts's written reviews are positive against 80% of Daylight's.

Sun Facts ships an update every 2 months, Daylight every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
