DayHijack vs Either
DayHijack is a game where your friends or followers vote on real choices for your day, and you do what wins.
Either is a game of preference. People vote on hypothetical A/B questions and see how the crowd split.
Both use two options and a vote. The difference is what happens after the vote closes.

What is the main difference between DayHijack and Either?
The main difference is that a DayHijack vote has consequences. On Either, the vote is the whole game.
On Either you answer a question like "would you rather" and then see the split. One poll there has passed 973 thousand votes, so the format clearly works for curiosity.
On DayHijack you post choices about your own day. Tacos or sushi for lunch. Red shirt or blue shirt. Gym or a walk in the park.
Your friends vote, the decision locks, and you go do the winning option. Then you upload a photo to prove it.
Who should use Either instead?
Use Either if you want to ask strangers a fun question and watch the numbers move.
It is good for debates, trivia nights and "which side are you on" content. Nobody has to leave the couch.
If you never plan to act on the result, a preference poll is the simpler tool.
Who should use DayHijack instead?
Use DayHijack if you want your friends or followers to actually run part of your day.
Creators use it as a repeatable post: share the link in a story, let followers vote, then post the proof.
Friend groups use it for birthdays, weekends and dares that stay safe. You write every option, so nothing dangerous can win.
How does a DayHijack day work, step by step?
First you create a day and add your decisions. Free accounts get 2 decisions per day, and Pro gets up to 5.
Each decision has two options and a voting window. Decisions open one after another, not all at once.
Then you share one link. Voters tap a choice and they are done. They do not need an app or an account.
When a vote closes, the winner locks. You do it, snap a photo and upload it as proof.
At the end of the day, DayHijack builds a recap card with every winner and every proof photo. You can post that recap anywhere.
Do voters need to sign up on either app?
On DayHijack, voters never sign up and never pay. They open the link and vote.
Each person gets one vote per decision. We keep this fair with an anonymous browser ID, not a login.
Only the person whose day it is needs an account, so they can save the day and upload proof.
Is DayHijack safe if strangers vote on my day?
Yes, because you choose both options for every decision. Voters can only pick between the things you wrote.
Our rules ban dangerous, illegal or humiliating challenges. You can also skip or cancel any decision.
Never do something unsafe just because it won a vote. That rule is on every day page.
How much does DayHijack cost compared to Either?
DayHijack is free to start, and voting is free forever.
Pro costs $1.99 per month or $14.99 per year. It adds unlimited active days, up to 5 decisions per day and recap cards without the watermark.
New subscribers get a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime from the Pro page.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some people warm up their audience with a fun preference question first.
Then they post a DayHijack link for the real thing. The first poll gets people talking, and the second gives them a say in what you actually do.
What kind of choices work best on DayHijack?
The best choices are small, real and easy to prove with one photo.
Food works well: tacos or sushi, pizza or a salad, coffee or a smoothie. Style works too: hat or no hat, bright colors or all black.
Activities are popular with creators. Think gym or a long walk, karaoke or a movie, a new café or your usual spot.
Keep both options doable today. If you would hate one of them, your followers will usually pick it, so only write options you can live with.
What do I need to start?
You need a free account and about a minute. Sign in with email or Google.
Pick a day type, write your decisions or let Magic day suggest them, and set the voting times.
Then copy your link and post it. The first votes usually come in as soon as your story goes up.
If you run out of ideas, the challenge links page has ready-made days you can post right away.
If you only want to see what people prefer, Either works. If you want your followers to decide your day and see the proof, start one here.
