Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Diario Libre at 3.7 against HOY+'s 2.0. Diario Libre also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (22% vs 0%). HOY+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HOY+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.95 per month. Diario Libre asks for nothing beyond the download.
Diario Libre holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diario Libre has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of HOY+'s written reviews are positive against 22% of Diario Libre's.
HOY+ ships an update every 2 months, Diario Libre every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
