# Care Log vs Symptom Tracker+

The clearest difference is rating: Symptom Tracker+ at 4.0 against Care Log's 3.4. Symptom Tracker+ also leads on ratings volume (68 vs 5). Care Log's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Symptom Tracker+ sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.95 per month. Care Log asks for nothing beyond the download.

Symptom Tracker+ holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Symptom Tracker+ has 68 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Care Log's written reviews are positive against 40% of Symptom Tracker+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Care Log ships an update every 2 weeks, Symptom Tracker+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
