Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AmeshEX at none against DayLight's 2. AmeshEX also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (60% vs 45%). DayLight's advantage is ratings volume (218 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
