Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dram Diary at 4.5 against The Daily Pour's 3.4. Dram Diary also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). The Daily Pour's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Daily Pour sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Dram Diary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dram Diary holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Daily Pour has 34 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of The Daily Pour's written reviews are positive against 50% of Dram Diary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Daily Pour ships an update every 3 weeks, Dram Diary every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
