# Cahoメモ帳 vs My Journal

The clearest difference is rating: Cahoメモ帳 at 4.9 against My Journal's 4.6. My Journal's advantage is ratings volume (230 vs 45) and review sentiment (91% vs 83%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cahoメモ帳 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and My Journal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cahoメモ帳 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Journal has 230 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Cahoメモ帳's written reviews are positive against 91% of My Journal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cahoメモ帳 ships an update every 5 weeks, My Journal monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
