Keepsake is a free shared memory app for couples. Save the places you’ve been together, add photos and notes, and keep track of places you’d like to visit next. Over time, you’ll build a shared map and timeline of the experiences you’ve had together. MAP Every saved date appears on your shared map, so you can easily look back at the restaurants, trips, parks, coffee shops, and other places that have become part of your relationship. PLAN Save places and date ideas you’d like to try together. The Date Planner can also suggest ideas based on your preferences and location. WIDGETS Add Keepsake widgets to your Home Screen or Lock Screen to see how long you’ve been together, the distance between you, or a rotating collection of your favorite photos. ALBUMS Organize your dates into albums however you like, whether that’s by trip, year, city, occasion, or anything else that matters to you. MONTH IN REVIEW At the end of each month, Keepsake puts together a recap of your favorite dates and highest-rated places. Save it for yourself or share it as a photo. Keepsake was made by a couple who wanted a better way to remember the dates we’ve been on, not just where we went, but the photos, notes, and little details that made each one special.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Keepsake at none against Pixel Diary's shown. Keepsake also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
