# CustodyLog vs Documented

The clearest difference is ads: CustodyLog at none against Documented's shown. CustodyLog also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 71%). Documented's advantage is chart position (#175 vs unranked) and ratings volume (161 vs 29). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CustodyLog sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Documented sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Documented holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documented has 161 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of CustodyLog's written reviews are positive against 71% of Documented's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CustodyLog ships an update every 3 days, Documented every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
