# ALog vs JC Events

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ALog at 77 against JC Events's 2. JC Events's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ALog sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and JC Events sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

JC Events holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ALog has 77 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ALog ships an update every 2 weeks, JC Events weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
