Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Incident Logger at 100% against CarLink's 42%. Incident Logger also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). CarLink's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CarLink sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Incident Logger asks for nothing beyond the download.
CarLink holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CarLink has 962 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Incident Logger's written reviews are positive against 42% of CarLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Incident Logger ships an update every 7 months, CarLink every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
