# Day vs Day Count

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Day Count at none against Day's 1. Day's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Day sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Day Count asks for nothing beyond the download.

Day ships an update every 3 days, Day Count every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
