# 记日子 vs DayKeeper

The clearest difference is rating: DayKeeper at 5.0 against 记日子's 4.4. DayKeeper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks). 记日子's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DayKeeper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 记日子 asks for nothing beyond the download.

DayKeeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 记日子 has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

记日子 ships an update every 4 weeks, DayKeeper every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
