Designed with simplicity in mind, the app offers a distraction-free interface that makes managing your collection effortless.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game Menu at none against DayOne's 1. Game Menu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). DayOne's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DayOne sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Game Menu asks for nothing beyond the download.
Game Menu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayOne has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Game Menu ships an update every 2 weeks, DayOne every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
