Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pandiary at none against LuvDiary's shown. Pandiary also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). LuvDiary's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
