# Days vs Days Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Days at 4.8 against Days Counter's 4.2. Days also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 5). Days Counter's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Days Counter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Days's written reviews are positive against 100% of Days Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Days ships an update every 5 days, Days Counter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
