Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DayOne at 4.7 against SGA's 4.0. DayOne also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). SGA's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
