Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: JotDay at freemium against ADHD Pal's subscription. JotDay also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 67%) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). ADHD Pal's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JotDay sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ADHD Pal sells 2 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 — 4.7 for JotDay against 4.8 for ADHD Pal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JotDay has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of JotDay's written reviews are positive against 67% of ADHD Pal's.
JotDay ships an update monthly, ADHD Pal every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
