Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: HelloHabit at freemium against DayCount's subscription. HelloHabit also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). DayCount's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 3.3K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
