Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ancor at 5.0 against Daily Planner's 4.7. Daily Planner's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Daily Planner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Ancor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
