# My Daily Input vs Nerdish

The clearest difference is ads: Nerdish at none against My Daily Input's shown. Nerdish also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 10) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). My Daily Input's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Daily Input sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Nerdish sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nerdish holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nerdish has 2.6K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of My Daily Input's written reviews are positive against 60% of Nerdish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Daily Input ships an update every 5 weeks, Nerdish weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
