Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: 吾记 at free with in-app purchases against 一言's subscription. 吾记 also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 117) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). 一言's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 一言 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and 吾记 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 一言 against 4.8 for 吾记. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 吾记 has 1.1K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of 一言's written reviews are positive against 89% of 吾记's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

一言 ships an update every 6 weeks, 吾记 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
