Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LOG at 5.0 against TopSet's 4.5. LOG also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). TopSet's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
