Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HALOwatch at none against Dates's shown. HALOwatch also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Dates's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dates holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HALOwatch has 50 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Dates ships an update fortnightly, HALOwatch weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
