Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Days at 12K against Weekly Menu's 25. Days also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Weekly Menu's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Weekly Menu sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Days's written reviews are positive against 85% of Weekly Menu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Days ships an update every 5 days, Weekly Menu every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
