# Anemometer vs DayLight

The clearest difference is price: DayLight at Free against Anemometer's $4.99. DayLight also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 18%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Anemometer's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and chart position (#119 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

DayLight is free to download; Anemometer costs $4.99 up front. Anemometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DayLight sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Anemometer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayLight has 217 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Anemometer's written reviews are positive against 43% of DayLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Anemometer ships an update every 4 months, DayLight monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
