# Repeat Timer vs The Log

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Repeat Timer against 4.4 for The Log.

Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Repeat Timer's written reviews are positive against 61% of The Log's.

Repeat Timer ships an update monthly, The Log every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
