DDiary Pro and NoteEase both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of DDiary Pro's written reviews are positive against 42% of NoteEase's. DDiary Pro also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NoteEase holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 45 and 67 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of DDiary Pro's written reviews are positive against 42% of NoteEase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
