Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Days at 4.8 against 4K Life's 3.5. Days also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 20). 4K Life's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
