Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Diary! SmartDiary at 4.6 against Book'Mee's 4.0. Diary! SmartDiary also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Book'Mee's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
