# My Diary vs Remember

The clearest difference is price: Remember at Free against My Diary's $2.99. Remember also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). My Diary's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (40 vs 7). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Remember is free to download; My Diary costs $2.99 up front. Remember sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. My Diary asks for nothing beyond the download.

Remember holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Diary has 40 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of My Diary's written reviews are positive against 100% of Remember's.

My Diary ships an update fortnightly, Remember every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
