Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sunsets Reminder at none against Tally's 2. Sunsets Reminder also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (75% vs 61%). Tally's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 38) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 1.8K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 75% of Sunsets Reminder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tally ships an update every 3 weeks, Sunsets Reminder every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
