Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lognote at 4.6 against Timestamp Marker's 4.0. Lognote also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (56 vs 1). Timestamp Marker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lognote holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lognote has 56 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Timestamp Marker's written reviews are positive against 94% of Lognote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timestamp Marker ships an update every 6 weeks, Lognote every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
