# Diary vs Echobell

The clearest difference is rating: Echobell at 4.7 against Diary's 3.9. Echobell also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Diary's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Diary sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and Echobell sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Echobell holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diary has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Diary's written reviews are positive against 100% of Echobell's.

Diary ships an update every 8 days, Echobell weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
