Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DayCue at none against TimeTill's shown. DayCue also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). TimeTill's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
