Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PureDiary at none against 3sec Diary's 1. PureDiary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 26 months). 3sec Diary's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price there is nothing between them.
