Where they differ
Momentum describes itself as a space for focus. The official homepage puts a daily background, a quote or mantra, a daily goal, tasks, Focus Mode, links, and calendar on the new tab. The official FAQ says you can try it free without an account, then create an account so data is saved. Momentum Plus is listed at $39.95 USD billed annually. The Plus page lists advanced Focus Mode, metrics, countdown, world clocks, custom task lists, and connections to Asana, Basecamp, Bitbucket, ClickUp, GitHub, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Todoist, and Trello.
The official homepage does not list a general news headline feed or a stock-market ticker. Those rows are marked not listed for that reason.
Dayblaster ships a fixed dashboard with shortcut zones, news, and markets already present. Customisation is there (shortcuts, widgets, backgrounds), but the page is meant to be usable on first open. Pricing is free with an optional one-time Pro purchase. Dayblaster is a website first. The Chrome extension only overrides the new-tab page and opens https://www.dayblaster.com/.
Choose Momentum if
You want a photo, a daily focus line, and a calm new-tab canvas, and you use Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or iOS. You are fine with a recurring Plus plan if you want unlimited Focus Mode, world clocks, or task integrations.
Choose Dayblaster if
You want news and market indices next to grouped shortcuts without assembling that layout, and you are fine with a homepage URL plus an optional Chrome new-tab extension. You prefer a one-time Pro payment over a yearly subscription if you want ads removed.
