Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DayDew at 5.0 against My diary's 4.5. DayDew also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 60%). My diary's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 9) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
