Dua Diary is a quiet place for the duas of your life — the ones you return to every day, and the ones you carry for someone else. YOUR DIARY Write duas in your own words, in Arabic, English, or both. Organize them into collections, set a gentle routine for the times that matter to you, and add a short reflection at the end of the day. DISCOVER 147 duas from the Qur'an and authenticated hadith, with full Arabic, translation, and pronunciation — plus the 99 Names of Allah. Browse by source, by feeling, or by moment: morning and evening, travel, gratitude, hardship, Ramadan, Hajj and Umrah. SHARED DIARIES Gather duas with family and friends. Share one link; everyone with it can add duas — before an Umrah trip, for a relative who is unwell, for a wedding, an exam season, or a new baby. Or collect private dua requests in an inbox only you can see. People can add duas from the web without installing anything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Dhikr App at none against Dua Diary's 2. Dua Diary's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
