# StarDay vs In Love

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StarDay at none against In Love's 2. StarDay also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). In Love's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 68%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. In Love sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. StarDay asks for nothing beyond the download.

StarDay holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StarDay has 577 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of StarDay's written reviews are positive against 95% of In Love's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StarDay ships an update weekly, In Love monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
