# GitJournal vs My PHEV

The clearest difference is price: My PHEV at Free against GitJournal's $3.99. GitJournal's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 25%) and rating (3.1 vs 2.7). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

My PHEV is free to download; GitJournal costs $3.99 up front. GitJournal sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and My PHEV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GitJournal holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GitJournal has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of GitJournal's written reviews are positive against 25% of My PHEV's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
