# Days vs Weekly Menu

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.

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.

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.

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.
