The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: kōan at none against Daily Planner's 2. kōan also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Daily Planner's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Daily Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Daily Planner's written reviews are positive against 100% of kōan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
