Backloggd vs Game Jolt

Backloggd is a web-based personal video game collection tracker for logging games, recording play, and sharing ratings and reviews with friends. Users can mark games as played, in progress, or wanted, while keeping journals, play sessions, ownership, completion history, and playtime records. They can rate and review titles, create private or shared lists, and optionally track progress or rankings. Following users surfaces their activity, ratings, and reviews. Game information comes from IGDB, whose data is community contributed, and users cannot upload their own covers. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited game logging, lists, reviews, and journal tracking, with 14 days of recent activity. The Backer plan costs $3 a month via Patreon and adds all-time statistics, a yearly recap, ad-free use, 60 days of recent activity, and early beta access. There is no mobile app, although the website is optimized for mobile screens.

Game Jolt is a game and creator community for discovering games and connecting with their makers and other players. Users can follow games to receive notifications about new posts, then organize followed games, devlogs, and developers into playlists. Community features include friends, private messages, chat rooms, and forums. Players can track trophies and scores in games that implement the Game Jolt Game API, and the Google Play listing describes quests from game studios and brands. The mobile app gives developers tools to manage games, post devlogs, and build a following. Creators can design and sell digital stickers, profile frames, and post backgrounds. Access is available in a browser and on the mobile site, with apps for Android, iPhone, and iPad and desktop downloads for Windows and Linux. Game Jolt is free. The Google Play listing says data is encrypted in transit and users can request its deletion. Support and account-removal requests can be sent to [email protected].
