Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 8it at 83% against Daily Provisions's 43%. Daily Provisions's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 206). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Daily Provisions holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Provisions has 3.5K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of 8it's written reviews are positive against 43% of Daily Provisions's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
8it ships an update fortnightly, Daily Provisions weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
