VisualRecord for iPad provides an easy to use, visual record keeping database. With its intuitive interface, VisualRecord allows you to record information about a particular object, including one or more pictures of the object itself. The information you supply about the object, including photos, is stored in the form of a record in a SQLite database table. This allows you to use the powerful SQL query language to search over the records you've created and filter the data to suit your needs. In addition, VisualRecord provides a "fetch" interface which requires no prior knowledge of SQL that also allows you to filter your data based on simple criteria. When you add a new record for a particular object to your database table, VisualRecord makes it easy to insert a picture of the object into the record itself using your iPad's Photo Library or Camera. The records in your database table can include textual fields of arbitrary length. This allows you to include descriptive text in the record associated with the object in question. VisualRecord is ideal for record keeping of your valuables for insurance purposes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VisualRecord at 5.0 against Movielogue's 4.0. VisualRecord also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Movielogue's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
