Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RomCrate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Backloggr sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for RomCrate against 5.0 for Backloggr. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backloggr has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of RomCrate's written reviews are positive against 96% of Backloggr's.
RomCrate ships an update every 10 days, Backloggr weekly. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
