Waffle review
A feature-rich shared journal for groups, with Plus pricing aimed at committed users.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Waffle is a shared journaling app for couples, families, friends, and therapy relationships. Its core experience centers on shared journals with multiple members, daily or personalized prompts, and entries that can include photos, videos, and voice notes. Comments and read receipts support ongoing group participation, while customizable covers and AI-generated personalized prompts add ways to shape the journaling experience. Waffle is available on iOS, Android, and macOS, with core journaling functionality offered through a free plan.
Pricing is the main consideration for groups deciding how deeply to adopt Waffle. According to the published plans, Plus features for one journal cost $74.99 per year, two journals cost $129.99 per year, and unlimited journals cost $199.99 per year. The plans add Plus features for the selected journal scope, while the Waffle Monthly Plus plan provides Plus features without a listed price here. The annual structure may suit families or groups planning to maintain shared journals over time, but the starting paid tier is a significant commitment for a single journal.
Waffle’s strongest distinction is its focus on shared participation rather than private, individual journaling. Members can respond through comments, see read receipts, search entries, and preserve journals through PDF export. That makes it a practical fit for family memories, relationship check-ins, and structured therapy journaling. Users who want rich media, prompts, and group interaction should consider Waffle; those seeking a low-cost single-user journal, broad laptop access, or a primarily private writing tool may prefer an alternative.
