Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Date Calculator at free with in-app purchases against DayCount's subscription. Date Calculator also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 47%). DayCount's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 198) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Date Calculator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and DayCount sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DayCount holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayCount has 26K ratings behind it against 198, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Date Calculator's written reviews are positive against 47% of DayCount's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
