# TalkJournal vs DidThat

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DidThat at 100% against TalkJournal's 33%. DidThat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). TalkJournal's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
