# iCity · 我的日记 vs 柠檬提醒日

The clearest difference is monetization model: 柠檬提醒日 at free against iCity · 我的日记's subscription. 柠檬提醒日 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). iCity · 我的日记's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (85% vs 53%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCity · 我的日记 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 柠檬提醒日 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

柠檬提醒日 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCity · 我的日记 has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of iCity · 我的日记's written reviews are positive against 53% of 柠檬提醒日's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iCity · 我的日记 ships an update monthly, 柠檬提醒日 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
