Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Day at 78% against GoblinX's 31%. Day also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16). GoblinX's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Day sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GoblinX sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GoblinX holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoblinX has 143 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Day's written reviews are positive against 31% of GoblinX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Day ships an update every 3 weeks, GoblinX every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
