Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Backloggr at 29 against RomCrate's 1. RomCrate's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
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 4 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 29 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.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
