This app is for you if you want to keep your flat maintained but you are too busy to remember when is the last time you've changed your toothbrush or how often you have to change it. You try another reminder app but it does not help because it always reminds you to do things when you can't do them. Then when you finally have the time, you have forgotten about the task until it reminds you next time, or you do it later and your reminder reminds you too early next time. Using this app, you set an interval for each task. For example, changing the Brita filter every 60 days, changing the toothbrush every 90 days, ... When you have time to do chores, you can open the Maintenance app and see what is overdue, or due soon. Once done, you can mark tasks as done to see when you have to do it next time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Text Diary at 4.6 against Do! Maintenance's 4.0. Text Diary also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). Do! Maintenance's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
