Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: iF Daily Design at 50% against ISIC's 20%. iF Daily Design also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). ISIC's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (105 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ISIC holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ISIC has 105 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of iF Daily Design's written reviews are positive against 20% of ISIC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iF Daily Design ships an update every 3 months, ISIC every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
