Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShowLog at none against Barnlog's 1. ShowLog also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Barnlog's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
