# Game Menu vs Backloggr

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game Menu at none against Backloggr's 4. Game Menu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Backloggr's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backloggr sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Game Menu asks for nothing beyond the download.

Game Menu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backloggr has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Game Menu's written reviews are positive against 100% of Backloggr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Game Menu ships an update every 2 weeks, Backloggr every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
