Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Weight. at none against Value Diary's shown. Weight. also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). Value Diary's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 140). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Weight. sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Value Diary sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Weight. against 4.7 for Value Diary. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Value Diary has 3.6K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Weight.'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Value Diary's.
Weight. ships an update every 5 weeks, Value Diary every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
