Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MonthDay at Free against DateGlance's $0.99. MonthDay also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). DateGlance's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 50%) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
MonthDay is free to download; DateGlance costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MonthDay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DateGlance has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of DateGlance's written reviews are positive against 50% of MonthDay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DateGlance ships an update every 2 months, MonthDay every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
