# TextPort vs CustodyLog

The clearest difference is rating: CustodyLog at 5.0 against TextPort's 4.4. TextPort's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TextPort sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and CustodyLog sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CustodyLog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TextPort has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TextPort ships an update daily, CustodyLog weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
