Cloudflare control, in your hand. If you manage sites on Cloudflare and dread logging into the dashboard just to flip a record or purge cache, CloudLog is built for you. It is a native client for the Cloudflare API that puts your zones, DNS, firewall, cache and edge products one tap away. Your API token is stored in the device Keychain and requests go straight to Cloudflare, with no proxy server reading your traffic or your rules. It is made for web developers, sysadmins and founders who want to fix something fast from a phone instead of finding a laptop. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a one-week free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Open CloudLog and every zone on your account is listed with its status, plan and traffic. Tap one and you can edit DNS records inline, toggle the proxy on any record, add or delete entries, and purge cache for a single file or the whole zone in seconds. The firewall view lets you review and change rules, the analytics panels show requests, bandwidth, cached ratio and threats over time, and the SSL and speed settings are all within reach. Pull to refresh and the data reflects the live edge, not a stale snapshot. Beyond the basics, CloudLog reaches the modern Cloudflare stack: Workers and their routes, KV namespaces, R2 buckets, D1 databases, Pages projects and Email Routing addresses, each with the read and quick edit actions you actually use from a phone. Smart notifications can warn you about a traffic spike, a jump in threats, or an error rate climbing on a Worker, so an incident reaches you while you can still act on it. Everything dangerous, like deleting a record or purging everything, asks for confirmation first. CloudLog fits the small emergencies that always arrive at the wrong time. Point a domain at a new server from the airport, purge a stale page right after a deploy, flip a record to bypass the proxy while you debug, or add a verification TXT record for a new service in seconds. Watch a traffic spike during a campaign, block a bad actor the moment threats climb, and confirm a Worker is healthy after a release. For an agency juggling many client zones it becomes one console for all of them, and for a solo developer it removes the laptop from the loop entirely. CloudLog ships in 39 languages with full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type, and your token sits behind Face ID. Nothing about your infrastructure is logged or sold, there is no analytics SDK, and no third party server sits between you and Cloudflare. It works as a DNS editor, a cache remote, a firewall console and an analytics dashboard, all without opening a browser. Unlock with Pro: β’ Unlimited zones beyond the free single zone β’ Workers, KV, R2, D1 and Pages management β’ Traffic, threat and Worker error alerts β’ Bulk DNS edit and full analytics history β’ Premium themes and app icons Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cron Expression Generator at none against Zone Editor's 3. Cron Expression Generator also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Zone Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
