Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 一本日记 at none against Time Diary's shown. 一本日记 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Time Diary's advantage is ratings volume (429 vs 18) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Diary sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and 一本日记 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
