Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Lemon Diary sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Memory sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Memory holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lemon Diary has 912 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Lemon Diary's written reviews are positive against 100% of Memory's.
Lemon Diary ships an update fortnightly, Memory every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
