Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 此刻日记 at 5.0 against Lifelog Note's 4.6. Lifelog Note's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 此刻日记 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Lifelog Note sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

此刻日记 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lifelog Note has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of 此刻日记's written reviews are positive against 90% of Lifelog Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
