Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sober City at none against DayDew's shown. Sober City also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sober City sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and DayDew sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.9 for Sober City against 5.0 for DayDew. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sober City has 320 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 96% of Sober City's written reviews are positive against 78% of DayDew's.
Sober City ships an update every 6 days, DayDew every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
