Backloggd vs Steam Community

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.

Steam Community is a social space for players to share content, follow games and connect with friends. Game hubs gather discussions, uploaded material and game updates; users can browse screenshots, artwork, broadcasts, videos, Workshop items, news, guides and reviews. Steam Chat supports text and voice conversations with friends or groups, including videos, Tweets and GIFs. Steam Broadcast lets users stream gameplay to friends or the wider community. Workshop offers player-created mods and cosmetics for nearly 1,000 supported games. Steam also lists achievements and custom recommendations. Its mobile app for iOS and Android provides access to Community, Discussions, Market, Workshop, broadcasts, friends, groups, screenshots and inventory. Steam Community is free, though access to more Hubs requires a Steam account. The client supports 28 languages and counting. Steam accounts are personal and generally cannot be sold or transferred. Users under 13 may not subscribe, and local law may set a higher minimum age for account creation.
