Arrangements Log
Comparison
Arrangements Log vs Casewell: an honest comparison
The short answer. These two are close relatives. Both are private records kept by one parent, with nothing for the other parent to join. Casewell is broader: it covers expenses, documents, photos and screenshots as well as handovers, runs on Android as well as iPhone, and offers optional AI rewriting into neutral wording. Arrangements Log is narrower and stricter about data: it is built around the contact schedule, comparing each call or visit with what was arranged, and it collects nothing at all, with no analytics and no AI service. If you need Android, attachments or expenses, Casewell does more. If you want the smallest possible data footprint and a record organised around the schedule, that is Arrangements Log.

What do they have in common?
A good deal. Both are for one parent keeping their own record. Neither asks the other parent to sign up or tells them anything. Both keep the record on your device rather than on a company server, both record when an entry was written and whether it has been edited since, and both export a PDF of the entries you choose rather than everything. Both say plainly that they are not legal advice and do not guarantee that any court will accept a record. That last point is true of every app, including this one.
What does each cost?
Casewell’s UK App Store listing shows three Premium options after a 14-day free trial: £2.99 a week, £5.99 a month or £49.99 a year. On its US website the price is $2.99 a week or $49.99 a year.
Arrangements Log is free for 14 days with no card needed, then £4.99 a month, or £49.99 once for lifetime access. There is no weekly or annual plan.
Put simply: for a year, Casewell’s annual plan costs £49.99 and Arrangements Log’s monthly plan about £60. Over more than a year, Arrangements Log’s one-off £49.99 is the cheaper of the two, because it does not renew. Arrangements Log’s record is never deleted if you stop paying, and stays exportable.
What data leaves your phone?
Both keep your records on your device. The differences are in what else happens.
Casewell says your timeline and files are “encrypted and stored on your device by default” and are “not automatically uploaded to Casewell servers”. Its privacy policy (last updated 22 July 2026) also says:
- it uses PostHog Cloud EU for product analytics, which receives “a persistent random device identifier, app and device information”, screen names and limited product-interaction events;
- it uses RevenueCat for subscriptions and Supabase for a backend app identity;
- when you choose to use AI rewriting, “the note text you submit is sent to Casewell’s backend proxy so it can be processed by an AI provider”. The AI provider is not named. The app shows a privacy reminder before it does this.
Its App Store privacy label lists purchase history, device ID and product interaction as data linked to you.
Arrangements Log has no server, no analytics, no AI service and no third-party code. The only network traffic is Apple’s own iCloud sync between your devices and the App Store purchase check. Its App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected”.
Neither approach sends your record to the other parent. The question is whether you are comfortable with usage analytics and, if you use it, a note’s text passing through a server to be rewritten.
Where is Casewell the better choice?
- You use Android. Casewell is on Google Play. Arrangements Log is iPhone and iPad only.
- You need to keep documents, screenshots or receipts with the record. Casewell attaches them to events. Arrangements Log does not store attachments.
- You want to track expenses, school or medical events in the same place. Casewell has categories for all of these. Arrangements Log records contact only.
- You find it hard to write neutrally in the moment. Casewell’s optional AI rewrite suggests calmer, factual wording, which you approve.
- You only need it for a short, defined period. A weekly or annual plan may suit better than monthly.
- Your language is not one of Arrangements Log’s eight. Casewell is in fourteen.
Where is Arrangements Log the better choice?
- You want nothing collected at all. No analytics, no AI service, no account, “Data Not Collected”.
- Your record is about a contact schedule. Arrangements Log starts from the schedule (who, which days, what times), logs each call or visit in one tap, and compares what was arranged with what happened. Its analysis and the dated PDF follow that shape. Our contact record guide explains why a short, dated selection is what the court’s bundle rules now favour, and there is a sample report.
- You use an iPad too. Arrangements Log has a native iPad app and syncs between your own devices through your private iCloud. Casewell’s App Store listing lists iPhone and Mac, not iPad.
- You would rather pay once. £49.99 for lifetime access, rather than a renewing plan.
If you do not need an app at all, a paper diary and our free chronology template do the core job.
