Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MonthDay at 5.0 against WatchTheTime's 3.6. MonthDay also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WatchTheTime's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (39 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MonthDay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WatchTheTime has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of WatchTheTime's written reviews are positive against 50% of MonthDay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WatchTheTime ships an update every 2 weeks, MonthDay every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
