Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LaserLogbook at 5.0 against Glacier App's 4.3. LaserLogbook also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Glacier App's advantage is ratings volume (291 vs 2) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Glacier App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and LaserLogbook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LaserLogbook holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glacier App has 291 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Glacier App's written reviews are positive against 100% of LaserLogbook's.
Glacier App ships an update weekly, LaserLogbook every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
