They solve it from opposite directions.\n\n**Subsurface** is a free, open-source desktop application. It is built by a community, supports a very wide range of dive computers, and gives power users deep control over profiles, planning and technical diving.\n\n**Depthlog** is a web and mobile-first logbook for recreational divers. It focuses on speed on the boat, a repetitive-dive planner that answers real bottom-time questions, and a record you can share with your buddies.\n\n## Side by side\n\n| | Depthlog | Subsurface |\n|---|---|---|\n| Platform | Web and mobile-first | Desktop-first, with a mobile companion |\n| Price | Free forever, optional Supporter | Free and open source |\n| Best for | Recreational divers, multi-dive days, sharing | Desktop power users, technical diving |\n| Import | UDDF, CSV, JSON | Many computers, UDDF and more |\n| Repetitive-dive planning | Built in, mobile-friendly | Yes, desktop-oriented |\n| Analytics | SAC, depth, time, trends | Detailed, desktop-oriented |\n| Sharing | Buddy tags, map, certificates, share cards | Limited |\n\n## Where Subsurface wins\n\n- It is the reference for dive computer compatibility.\n- It gives fine-grained control over profiles, gases and technical planning.\n- It is free and open source, with a strong community.\n\nIf you plan decompression dives, manage many gas mixes, or simply prefer a desktop application, Subsurface is a serious tool.\n\n## Where Depthlog wins\n\n- **Mobile first:** log a dive in under a minute on the boat, not at a desk.\n- **Planner built for the surface interval:** residual nitrogen penalty, pressure groups and remaining bottom time in one screen.\n- **One timeline across brands:** import from any computer and keep the history together.\n- **Sharing:** buddy tags, a dive map, certificates and shareable summaries.\n- **No install:** open the browser, log in, dive.\n\n## How they fit together\n\nYou do not have to choose forever. Many divers keep Subsurface as the desktop archive and use Depthlog for the day-to-day logbook and planning. Moving between them is straightforward: export UDDF from Subsurface, import it into Depthlog.\n\n::tip\nWant to try the mobile-first route?
