Ballistica is a ballistic calculator for long-range shooters who want clear corrections and can see the data behind them. Pick a rifle and a load, enter the line-of-sight range, angle, wind, and conditions, and Ballistica gives you elevation and windage: the direction, the angle, the linear drop or drift, and turret clicks when your scope's click value is set. THE SOLVER • 3D point-mass trajectory model • G1, G5, G7, and G8 drag models, plus custom drag curves • Optional spin drift, Coriolis, and aerodynamic jump • Line-of-sight range and inclined shots • Temperature, pressure, humidity, and altitude, or live conditions from Apple Weather • Station pressure from your iPhone's barometer • Separate conditions for the day you zeroed • Two-stage truing for muzzle velocity and drop scale, with powder temperature taken into account • Warnings for transonic and subsonic flight and for ranges beyond what the model has been checked against CLEAR RESULTS • Elevation and windage in MOA or MRAD, with dial and hold shown side by side • Turret clicks in your scope's own unit, and a warning when a correction exceeds your turret's travel • Linear drop and drift, remaining velocity, Mach, energy, and time of flight • The drag model, ballistic coefficient, velocity source, zero, and truing status are always visible • A clear marker when changed inputs make a solution out of date IN THE FIELD • Stage planner: every target on a stage, in shot order, with a printable wrist card (Pro) • Hit probability for a chosen target size, and which error is costing you the most (Pro) • Measure shot angle and rifle cant with your iPhone • Reticle view with generic MOA and MRAD reticles, including trees with wind dots and second-focal-plane scaling • Optional energy and velocity guidelines for hunting • Trajectory graph for drop, velocity, and energy • Range cards on A4 or Letter, exported as PDF • Mover lead and mil ranging • Widgets, a Lock Screen Live Activity (Pro), and Siri and Shortcuts: ask Siri for your elevation and wind at a given range RIFLES AND LOADS • Rifle and scope profiles with multiple zeros • Custom loads and a built-in bullet library • Import velocity strings from Garmin Xero and LabRadar CSV files, set muzzle velocity from the average, and estimate temperature sensitivity • Share a rifle, load, or saved setup as a file or a QR code • Saved setups for the combinations you use most RANGE SESSIONS • Log observed impacts against the prediction • Group size, mean radius, and average vertical and horizontal offsets • Notes, location, and an optional target photo • Filter by date and rifle, export a session as CSV, or share a summary image YOUR SETTINGS • Metric, Imperial, or mixed units • Daylight, Field Dark, Sunlight, and Low-Light Red themes, or follow the system • Large text, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion support • iCloud sync and full backups Ballistica Pro is a one-time purchase.

SnipeLog is a precision-shooting tracker built for sport shooters, hunters, competitive marksmen, law-enforcement, and military personnel who take their range time seriously. Log every session. Analyze every group. Build a private record of how you're really shooting — across weapons, optics, loads, drills, and conditions. FEATURES • Live session mode — log shots in real time with distance, hit/miss, and miss-cause critique. Designed for the firing line. • Quick session entry — retroactive logging for sessions you didn't track shot-by-shot. • Target analyzer — tap each hole on a photo of your target to compute group size and MOA spread automatically. • Gear vault — track weapons, optics, ammunition, drills, and named loadouts. Attach reference photos. Every shot logs against the loadout you used. • Performance analytics — per-weapon lifetime stats. Last fired, best session, hit rate, group history. • Drill library — built-in drills plus your own custom drills with reference photos. • Multi-shooter profiles — one account, multiple shooters (great for families, instructors, and teams). • Teams — admin-provisioned with seat limits and invite codes. Commander vs. viewer roles. • PDF exports — single-session, date-range, or full-team reports. • Audit history — every session edit recorded with a human-readable diff. • Offline-aware — keep logging without signal; everything syncs when you reconnect. • Light + dark themes with a brass/gunmetal palette built for outdoor visibility. SECURE BY DESIGN Your data lives in your account. Firestore security rules scope your sessions to you. Teams only see what they're authorized to see. Photos stay on your device. No advertising. No tracking. No sale of data. Sign in with email + password, Google, or Apple — whichever you prefer. Account deletion is one tap away from Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SnipeLog at none against Ballistica's 1. SnipeLog also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
