# Time Diary vs 小鹿指南针

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 小鹿指南针 at none against Time Diary's 17. 小鹿指南针 also leads on ads (none vs shown). Time Diary's advantage is ratings volume (427 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Diary sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. 小鹿指南针 asks for nothing beyond the download.
