Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: When Expiry at none against Expiration_Date's 1. When Expiry also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (71% vs 47%). Expiration_Date's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 26 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Expiration_Date holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expiration_Date has 57 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of When Expiry's written reviews are positive against 47% of Expiration_Date's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

When Expiry ships an update every 26 months, Expiration_Date weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
