Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Emoji Diary at 100% against Household Clock's 0%. Emoji Diary also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). Household Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Emoji Diary is free to download; Household Clock costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Household Clock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Emoji Diary has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Emoji Diary's written reviews are positive against 0% of Household Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Emoji Diary ships an update every 5 weeks, Household Clock every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
