Frequently asked questions
Is Dayora better than Diaro?
If you want more than a basic diary, yes. Diaro is a straightforward diary app for writing and organizing entries. Dayora adds an AI reply to every entry, follow-up questions, Reflect chat, voice journaling, and mood tracking. All of that is free in Dayora, while Diaro PRO is a paid upgrade. Dayora Plus is an optional $9/month membership for extras, but the journaling stays free.
Does Diaro have AI features?
No. Diaro is a traditional diary app focused on writing, organizing with tags and folders, and cloud syncing. It doesn't offer AI insights, follow-up questions, or any intelligent analysis of your entries. Dayora provides all of these features for free.
Is Diaro free, and what does Dayora add?
Dayora believes self-reflection should be accessible to everyone. The core is free forever: unlimited entries, AI insights, voice journaling, Reflect chat, mood tracking, and the daily emails. No credit card, no ads, no trial timer. Dayora Plus is an optional $9/month membership that adds Call Dayora, a daily synthesis email, and Deep Self Reports on top. Nothing you already use ever moves behind a paywall.
Can I switch from Diaro to Dayora?
Yes. You can start using Dayora right away. Sign up in 30 seconds and begin journaling with AI insights from your first entry. Dayora works on any device with a web browser, so there's nothing to install.
