The ILA app is your smart companion for your visit to the trade fair. In the free ILA app, you will find exhibitor and product information, a detailed program overview and interactive hall plans. You can create lists of favorites directly in the app or log in with your profile from the ILA online platform and have your favorites and contacts displayed in the ILA app as well. A QR code for networking is generated from your personal profile in the ILA app. This can be scanned by other app users on site at the trade fair, automatically creating a link between the networking profiles in the app, which can be found under Contacts.

Art Catalog is a private, offline home for everything you create โ and everything you sell. Built for painters, illustrators, and sketch artists who are tired of spreadsheets (or handing their work over to yet another cloud service), Art Catalog keeps your entire body of work organized, searchable, and completely under your control. Every piece you add โ its size, medium, materials, category, reference, and story โ lives only on your device. No account to create, no server to trust, no ads, no tracking. Free, forever โข Catalog every piece with rich details: title, size, creation date, medium, materials, category, subject, reference, and your own notes โข Attach a photo to each entry and browse your whole collection in a clean, photo-first Gallery โข Browse by Category with automatic cover art and counts โข Mark favorites and filter your Gallery down to just the best of the best โข See your collection's breakdown by medium and category on the Dashboard Unlock the full picture Try every feature free for 7 days.

Whether you've sold one piece or five hundred, Art Catalog gives your work the same organized, private home a serious collection deserves. No subscriptions. No accounts. No cloud. Just your art, cataloged.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ILA Berlin at none against Art Catalog's 1. Art Catalog's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.7). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
