Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Climber Diary at Free against Spray's $0.99. Climber Diary also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%). Spray's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Climber Diary is free to download; Spray costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spray holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Climber Diary's written reviews are positive against 0% of Spray's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Climber Diary ships an update fortnightly, Spray every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
