# Smart Tasks vs PetLog

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PetLog at none against Smart Tasks's 5. PetLog also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Smart Tasks's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 1). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Tasks sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. PetLog asks for nothing beyond the download.
