Grand Log vs AniList
— Which is Right for You?
AniList is clean, modern, and free — but it's still a website with no native app, no arc tracking, and no streak mechanics. Grand Log takes anime tracking to the next level.

Why Anime Fans Switch from AniList to Grand Log
You'll love Grand Log if you...
- You watch long-running series and want arc-level progress (One Piece, Bleach, Naruto)
- You want to build a daily anime habit with streak mechanics and milestone badges
- You prefer a native iOS app over a browser-based experience
- You want Watch Party — watch together and compare progress with friends in real time
- You want a more focused, anime-only experience without browser distractions
When AniList Might Be a Better Fit
AniList is an excellent tracker. It may be the right choice if…
- You rely on 3rd-party apps built on AniList's public GraphQL API
- Heavy profile customization (banners, themes, color schemes) is important to you
- You primarily track manga alongside anime
- You're on Android and want a well-supported ecosystem now
