Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DayNumCalc at 100% against Handi's 50%. Handi's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). On ratings volume, 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
Handi is free to download; DayNumCalc costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Handi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of DayNumCalc's written reviews are positive against 50% of Handi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DayNumCalc ships an update every 6 months, Handi every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
