Frequently asked questions

Which is better: Dayora or Jour?

Both apps use AI to help you journal, but Dayora offers more features for free. Jour is an iOS-only app at $49.99/year with AI prompts and mood tracking. Dayora includes voice journaling, AI daily summaries, web access, and Android support, all in its free core. Those are features Jour doesn't offer. If you want a full-featured journaling experience on any device, Dayora is the better choice.

Why is Dayora free?

Dayora is committed to making AI journaling accessible to everyone. We believe reflection and self-awareness shouldn't sit behind a subscription. The core is free forever: unlimited entries, AI insights, voice journaling, mood tracking, and Reflect chat. No credit card, no ads, no trial timer. Dayora Plus is an optional $9/month membership that adds voice calls, a daily synthesis email, and Deep Self Reports on top.

Does Jour have voice journaling?

No, Jour does not offer voice journaling. Dayora includes voice journaling for free, allowing you to record entries hands-free and have them automatically transcribed. This is especially helpful when you want to capture thoughts on the go without typing.

Can I switch from Jour to Dayora?

Yes, you can switch to Dayora at any time. Since Dayora works on the web and any device, you can start journaling immediately without waiting for an app download. The free core is available right away, and you won't need to provide a credit card.
