Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TopLogger at 4.7 against Griptonite's 3.0. TopLogger also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). Griptonite's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 28%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TopLogger holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of TopLogger's written reviews are positive against 45% of Griptonite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TopLogger ships an update every 2 months, Griptonite every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
