Both are free to download. Diary With Password sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Zipnote asks for nothing beyond the download.
Zipnote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diary With Password has 27K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Diary With Password's written reviews are positive against 75% of Zipnote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Diary With Password ships an update every 2 weeks, Zipnote fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
