Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DocIt at none against DayStamp's shown. DocIt also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). DayStamp's advantage is ratings volume (488 vs 3) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, 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. DayStamp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and DocIt sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DocIt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayStamp has 488 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of DayStamp's written reviews are positive against 100% of DocIt's.
DayStamp ships an update every 2 weeks, DocIt weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
