Dawnboard includes 17 animated themes: New Dawn, Twilight, Ocean Breeze, Aurora, Outer Space, Enchanted Mist, Underwater Kingdom, Winter Wonder, Golden Hour, Valentine, Tiki Paradise, Moss Cathedral, River Canyon, Moss & Rain, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and Spring Blossoms.

Eight agenda and month views preserve your calendar colors, and you can choose whether to show locations and past events. Photos An album can hold up to 25 images. Vision-based auto-cropping handles landscape, portrait, square, and cinematic formats, with a separate crop for each format. Albums play as a crossfade slideshow on the TV. Countdowns Create a countdown with its own image. Dawnboard can send a daily reminder and another reminder on the day before the event.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dawnboard at none against Parashat's 1. Parashat's advantage is device support (6 vs 2) and iOS requirement (18.2 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
