# Soon vs Days Until

The clearest difference is rating: Days Until at 5.0 against Soon's 4.7. Soon's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soon sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Days Until sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Days Until holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soon has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
