Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Memory at 5.0 against Lemon Diary's 4.6. Memory also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Lemon Diary's advantage is ratings volume (912 vs 8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
