# My e vs Guided Journal

The clearest difference is ads: Guided Journal at none against My e's shown. Guided Journal also leads on ratings volume (67 vs 5). My e's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My e sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Guided Journal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My e holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guided Journal has 67 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

My e ships an update every 4 weeks, Guided Journal every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
