Dotabuff vs FF Logs

Dotabuff is a web resource for Dota 2 statistics, player profiles, rankings, match history, and analysis. It tracks public games and combines match information with replay, Steam, and community data. Hero statistics can be filtered by position, rank, game mode, and date range, showing popularity and performance. TrueSight analyzes replays for builds, farm, vision, objectives, and combat logs. It automatically covers tournament matches, games with verified players, and matches played by Plus subscribers; Plus is required for personal-match analysis. Basic is free and includes a player profile, public statistics, mobile support, and advertising. Plus costs $6 a month and adds TrueSight analysis, detailed hero rankings, a personal dashboard, lifetime data retention, friends news, matchups, beta features, and no advertisements. Complete match data requires enabling Dota 2’s “Expose Public Match Data” setting. Dotabuff says access is limited to the last 500 matches for each hero since data was enabled.

FF Logs provides combat analysis for Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIV. Players can record encounters, upload reports, and examine combat activity in real time. The site lists raid progress, speed, and execution rankings, along with job balance statistics. Its Deaths Statistics show how often players die, which mechanics are involved, and how much overkill occurred. FF Logs also supports match history, player profiles, team statistics, leaderboards, and live statistics. The homepage links to a downloadable app; subscribers receive ad-free viewing within uploader applications. For developers, the public GraphQL v2 API uses client credentials, while access to private reports through the private API requires user permission. API authentication uses OAuth 2.0. FF Logs has a free plan, with paid subscriptions starting at $2 a month for Silver. Higher tiers list older-report access, increased API limits, and Discord roles or channels. Supported access includes web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and API.
