# SQL Play vs Firelog for Firebase Console

The clearest difference is rating: Firelog for Firebase Console at 4.7 against SQL Play's 3.4. Firelog for Firebase Console also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). SQL Play's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SQL Play sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Firelog for Firebase Console sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Firelog for Firebase Console holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 38 and 53 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of SQL Play's written reviews are positive against 67% of Firelog for Firebase Console's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SQL Play ships an update every 3 months, Firelog for Firebase Console every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
