# Bird Kind vs Daisy

The clearest difference is ads: Daisy at none against Bird Kind's shown. Daisy also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Bird Kind's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 54) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bird Kind sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Daisy sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bird Kind against 4.7 for Daisy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bird Kind has 2.5K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 71% and 71% positive.

Bird Kind ships an update fortnightly, Daisy every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
