Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: UCLA BLink at none against Yayday!'s shown. UCLA BLink also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Yayday!'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
