# Tally vs Log

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Log at 100% against Tally's 33%. Log also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 12). Tally's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tally sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Log asks for nothing beyond the download.

Log holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 4.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 100% of Log's.

Tally ships an update every 2 months, Log every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
