Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DiverLog+ at 2.5 against Dive Story's 2.2. DiverLog+ also leads on ratings volume (111 vs 13) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Dive Story's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DiverLog+ holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DiverLog+ has 111 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of DiverLog+'s written reviews are positive against 23% of Dive Story's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DiverLog+ ships an update every 5 weeks, Dive Story every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
