HAM Xpress ist eine App für PC und mobile Geräte. Als Amateurfunk-Logbuchprogramm ist sie insbesondere nützlich für YLs und OMs, die wenig oder keine Erfahrung mit Logbuchprogrammen haben oder die "mal schnell" stationär oder mobil einige QSOs eintragen wollen zur Weiterleitung an ein anderes Logbuchprogramm. Ganz bewußt ist diese Anwendung darum auf Schnelligkeit und Einfachheit ausgelegt, ohne auf die von ARCOMM gewohnte Professionalität zu verzichten. Nutzern, die gerne von weiteren Auswertungen, umfangreichen Eingabehilfen und vielen Zusatzinformationen profitieren möchten, legen wir das Top-Logbuchprogramm "HAM OFFICE .mein Logbuch" als APP und für PC an's Herz.

CloudLogOffline is an app interface for Cloudlog the cloud logbook for HAM radio OMs and YLs by 2M0SQL et al. The main purpose of CloudLogOffline is the portable operating mode, where no Wifi or 3G/LTE is availabe, e.g. SOTA, IOTA, WWFF, POTA or COTA. The logs can be stored in the app and when back to an internet connection, the log can be uploaded to a selfhosted Cloudlog instance. Currently CloudLogOffline supports following features: - Upload to Cloudlog via API - Query QRZ.com (if 3G/LTE is available) - Connect to Flrig by W1HKJ which e.g. runs on a Raspberry Pi which is connected to the radio and opens a Wifi to interact with CloudLogOffline - Set a CQ QRG if Flrig is not available - Live and post QSOs - Many more

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CloudLogOffline at every 6 weeks against HAM Xpress's every 67 months. HAM Xpress's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
