# One Day vs Days Counter

The clearest difference is rating: One Day at 4.7 against Days Counter's 3.7. One Day also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Days Counter's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. One Day sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Days Counter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

One Day holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Day has 91 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

One Day ships an update every 12 months, Days Counter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
