# LogTen Pilot Logbook vs MechaOBD

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MechaOBD at 100% against LogTen Pilot Logbook's 35%. MechaOBD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). LogTen Pilot Logbook's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 2) and chart position (#72 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LogTen Pilot Logbook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and MechaOBD sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
