# SafeZone vs Days

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Days at 74% against SafeZone's 27%. Days also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (13K vs 22). SafeZone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. SafeZone asks for nothing beyond the download.
