Digital run logs beat paper for search, backups, and sharing; paper beats digital for zero-battery moments. Serious riders usually go digital-first with a tiny paper fallback.
Comparison snapshot
Speed of entry can be a tie. Durability favors digital backups. Insight heavily favors digital. Cost favors paper until you value your time.
Switching cost
You don’t need to digitize five years of history. Start today; archive old paper in a box labeled “nostalgia.”
Arena Time angle
Free logging removes the “I don’t want another subscription” objection that keeps people on paper too long.
