Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Thruday at 4.6 against Day's 3.0. Thruday also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Thruday sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and Day sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thruday holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thruday has 73 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Thruday's written reviews are positive against 78% of Day's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Thruday ships an update every 3 days, Day every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
