# 一言 vs Lifelog Note

The clearest difference is monetization model: Lifelog Note at freemium against 一言's subscription. Lifelog Note also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). 一言's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (115 vs 34). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 一言 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and Lifelog Note sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

一言 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 115 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of 一言's written reviews are positive against 90% of Lifelog Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

一言 ships an update every 6 weeks, Lifelog Note fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
