# Pick Up vs Cratelog

The clearest difference is rating: Cratelog at 5.0 against Pick Up's 4.8. Cratelog also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). Pick Up's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pick Up sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Cratelog sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cratelog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pick Up has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Pick Up ships an update every 10 days, Cratelog every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
