Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Day Counter widget at free against TinkleTools's freemium. Day Counter widget also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (87 vs 2). TinkleTools's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Day Counter widget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and TinkleTools sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Day Counter widget holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Day Counter widget has 87 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Day Counter widget's written reviews are positive against 100% of TinkleTools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Day Counter widget ships an update weekly, TinkleTools every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
