Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ATA at free against OmniLogic's free with in-app purchases. OmniLogic's advantage is ratings volume (8.8K vs 11) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for OmniLogic against 4.6 for ATA.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OmniLogic ships an update every 3 weeks, ATA every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
