# Fruit Master vs Fruit Diary

The clearest difference is rating: Fruit Diary at 4.7 against Fruit Master's 3.8. Fruit Diary also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 23 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 52%). Fruit Master's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
