# Reflect Journal & Diary vs HookForge

The clearest difference is rating: HookForge at 5.0 against Reflect Journal & Diary's 4.5. Reflect Journal & Diary's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reflect Journal & Diary sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and HookForge sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HookForge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reflect Journal & Diary has 46 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
