Twig - The shared journal for couples. Social media is too public and scrapbooking is too hard - share your memories with your partner in one place, just for the two of you. Each memory has a place for you to upload photos and each add a note about your special moment. Twig makes it easy to document even the smallest of sweet moments. Plus, it's completely free. The story behind Twig: Both my fiancé Kassidy and I have gifted each other various forms of scrapbooks. While that definitely has its place, we wanted something that could be used any time something special happened. So I set out to make this app. Now we've got a rolling memory of all sorts of special moments we've shared! I hope it's just as useful for you as it has been for us. Enjoy!

Echolong is a small, quiet companion for grief. A place where the person you lost is held. Add to their Echo, day by day — memories, feelings, the things they used to say. Light a daily candle in remembrance. Mark the days that matter on your own calendar. Write private letters you cannot send. Share a memory as a keepsake. Echolong is not a medical app. It does not treat, diagnose, or claim to help with grief. It is a small companion. Everything stays on your device and in your own iCloud — nothing is shared with us or anyone else. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a crisis line. One-time purchase, no subscription, no upsells.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Echolong at 5.0 against Twig's 4.6. Echolong also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Twig's advantage is ratings volume (539 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
