Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The E at 5.0 against My Super Secret Diary Notes's 4.3. The E also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). My Super Secret Diary Notes's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
