# EventLog vs Logger

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EventLog at none against Logger's 6. EventLog also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 14.0). Logger's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 44 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Logger sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. EventLog asks for nothing beyond the download.

Logger holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Logger has 166 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of EventLog's written reviews are positive against 81% of Logger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EventLog ships an update every 44 months, Logger every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
