The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hydra at 4.8 against Days Until VI's 4.3. Hydra also leads on ratings volume (814 vs 7) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hydra holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hydra has 814 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Hydra's written reviews are positive against 100% of Days Until VI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hydra ships an update every 3 weeks, Days Until VI fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
