Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Tasks AI Scheduler at 100% against Daylist's 62%. Smart Tasks AI Scheduler also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Daylist's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (97 vs 9). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Daylist holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daylist has 97 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Daylist's written reviews are positive against 100% of Smart Tasks AI Scheduler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Daylist ships an update fortnightly, Smart Tasks AI Scheduler every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
