# The Nursing Log vs More Chime

The clearest difference is update cadence: More Chime at every 6 days against The Nursing Log's every 2 months. The Nursing Log's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (25 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Nursing Log sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and More Chime sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Nursing Log holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Nursing Log has 25 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Nursing Log ships an update every 2 months, More Chime every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
