What exactly do most calendar, task list, and productivity apps get wrong? They either focus on the *when* or the *how*, but they never focus on the *why* Strive fixes that. With Strive, you're able to connect the goals you work on to the events in your day. Enjoy! Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Your Dates at none against Strive Planner's 3. Strive Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
