# MyBacklog vs Backlogged

The clearest difference is rating: Backlogged at 4.4 against MyBacklog's 3.6. Backlogged also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (67 vs 8). MyBacklog's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyBacklog sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Backlogged sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Backlogged holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backlogged has 67 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of MyBacklog's written reviews are positive against 33% of Backlogged's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MyBacklog ships an update every 5 months, Backlogged every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
