Build a picture of your paddling: - A waters list that counts your visits and total distance for every lake, river, and bay. - Season stats with a distance by month chart, a split by craft, your most visited waters, and how this year compares to last. - Built-in gear checklists for day trips, cold water, and overnight routes, plus your own custom lists. Yours, and private: - Your log lives in your own private iCloud and syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - No account, no ads, and no tracking. PaddleLog never uses your location.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaddleHub at none against PaddleLog's 1. PaddleHub also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). PaddleLog's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
