Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Diary Card at 4.5 against One Workbook's 1.6. Diary Card also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 13%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months). One Workbook's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
