Tracking the Days allows you to track the number of days since or until a certain date. You can use it to countdown to a special event (Christmas, anniversary, moving day, graduation, etc.) or to track how long it has been since a certain day, such as positive habits like how long since you quit smoking, started a diet or any other streak you'd like to track. You can enter the dates to track manually or import them from your calendar. Add the most important date as a widget to your home screen to keep it front and center.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Day Counter at Free against DateTracker's $0.99. Day Counter also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). DateTracker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
