Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StarDay at 4.8 against Days Counter's 4.2. StarDay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Days Counter's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days Counter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. StarDay asks for nothing beyond the download.
StarDay holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StarDay has 576 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Days Counter's written reviews are positive against 68% of StarDay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Days Counter ships an update every 2 months, StarDay weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
