Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iDay at 4.7 against WithU Focus's 3.7. iDay also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 57%) and ratings volume (71 vs 3). WithU Focus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
