How to choose a day counter

If your main need is to count working days or exclude specific holidays, look for a tool that lets you define a holiday list. If you just want the raw number of days between two dates without any extra settings, a simpler counter will get you there faster. The difference matters when your schedule depends on which days are actually available.
