# AnyLog vs PlainWalk

The clearest difference is ads: AnyLog at none against PlainWalk's shown. AnyLog also leads on device support (4 vs 2). PlainWalk's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AnyLog sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and PlainWalk sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.69 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PlainWalk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of AnyLog's written reviews are positive against 88% of PlainWalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
