# DayOne vs Games Library X

The clearest difference is update cadence: Games Library X at daily against DayOne's every 11 days. Games Library X also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). DayOne's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DayOne sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Games Library X sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Games Library X holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayOne has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DayOne ships an update every 11 days, Games Library X daily. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
