# Daylio Journal vs Quotes Widget

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Daylio Journal at 62K against Quotes Widget's 1. Daylio Journal also leads on chart position (#146 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). Quotes Widget's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daylio Journal sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Quotes Widget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quotes Widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daylio Journal has 62K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Daylio Journal ships an update weekly, Quotes Widget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
