Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: DayDayUp at free with in-app purchases against Rocket Buddy's subscription. DayDayUp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Rocket Buddy's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
