Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: tick at free with in-app purchases against Day's subscription. tick also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Day's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 34 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
