Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Diary at Free against MyPrayers's $1.99. Diary also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 4). MyPrayers's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
