# Dive Log vs Below

The clearest difference is price: Below at Free against Dive Log's $14.99. Below also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Dive Log's advantage is ratings volume (107 vs 4) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Below is free to download; Dive Log costs $14.99 up front. Dive Log sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Below sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Below holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dive Log has 107 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Dive Log's written reviews are positive against 100% of Below's.

Dive Log ships an update monthly, Below weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
