Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Diary With Password at none against TatePad's shown. Diary With Password also leads on ratings volume (27K vs 33) and review sentiment (92% vs 80%). TatePad's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TatePad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Diary With Password sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TatePad holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diary With Password has 27K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of TatePad's written reviews are positive against 92% of Diary With Password's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TatePad ships an update every 5 days, Diary With Password every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
