# Smart Logbook vs CrewSync

The clearest difference is update cadence: CrewSync at every 3 days against Smart Logbook's every 3 months. CrewSync also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Smart Logbook's advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Logbook sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and CrewSync sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CrewSync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Logbook has 153 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Smart Logbook's written reviews are positive against 100% of CrewSync's.
