# Weekly Planner vs Reflect Journal & Diary

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Weekly Planner at 15K against Reflect Journal & Diary's 46. Weekly Planner also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Reflect Journal & Diary's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekly Planner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Reflect Journal & Diary sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weekly Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly Planner has 15K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Weekly Planner's written reviews are positive against 84% of Reflect Journal & Diary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weekly Planner ships an update every 3 weeks, Reflect Journal & Diary every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
