Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Braces Diary at free with in-app purchases against starmatch's subscription. Braces Diary also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 33%). starmatch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Braces Diary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and starmatch sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
starmatch holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: starmatch has 3.5K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Braces Diary's written reviews are positive against 33% of starmatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Braces Diary ships an update every 2 months, starmatch every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
