# DaysToGo vs Days

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DaysToGo at none against Days's 19. DaysToGo also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Days's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 4). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. DaysToGo asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for DaysToGo against 4.8 for Days. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of DaysToGo's written reviews are positive against 74% of Days's.

DaysToGo ships an update every 4 months, Days every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
