Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KidST0P at none against DayOne's 1. KidST0P 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 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
