Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DrinkDay at every 5 days against Being Boring's every 6 months. DrinkDay also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 27.0). Being Boring's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
