Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MyDayWidget at none against Date Today's shown. MyDayWidget also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 29%) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). Date Today's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
