Both are free to download. Simple Q&A Diary sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Conditioning sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Simple Q&A Diary against 5.0 for Conditioning. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Q&A Diary has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
