Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 爱日记 at none against Diary! SmartDiary's shown. 爱日记 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Diary! SmartDiary's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 75%) and ratings volume (45 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 爱日记 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Diary! SmartDiary sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

爱日记 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diary! SmartDiary has 45 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of 爱日记's written reviews are positive against 93% of Diary! SmartDiary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
