# WatchTime vs WristLog

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WristLog at 100% against WatchTime's 17%. WristLog also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). WatchTime's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WatchTime sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 6 months and WristLog sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WristLog holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WristLog has 53 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of WatchTime's written reviews are positive against 100% of WristLog's.

WatchTime ships an update every 6 months, WristLog every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
