# Dayno vs TickDown

The clearest difference is ads: Dayno at none against TickDown's shown. Dayno also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). TickDown's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases).

Both are free to download. Dayno sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and TickDown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Dayno against 5.0 for TickDown. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively.

Dayno ships an update fortnightly, TickDown every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
