Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: momo Diary at fortnightly against Diary's every 2 months. Diary's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 128). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Diary holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diary has 1.6K ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Diary's written reviews are positive against 83% of momo Diary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Diary ships an update every 2 months, momo Diary fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
