# My Super Secret Diary Notes vs Miary

The clearest difference is monetization model: Miary at freemium against My Super Secret Diary Notes's subscription. Miary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). My Super Secret Diary Notes's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 44). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Super Secret Diary Notes sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Miary sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Miary holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Super Secret Diary Notes has 1.9K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two.
