| Advantage | CatSpy | Android Studio | Text Readers (Notepad++, sublime, fleet) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory Usage | Lighter than Android Studio, consuming less memory. However, due to JVM characteristics, it may still consume more memory compared to some pure text readers. | \ | \ |
| Filtering Method | Supports individual filtering for message, tag, pid, tid, log level, etc. Text filters support both forward and reverse matching, with conditions combinable using OR logic. | Unique filtering syntax in Android Studio provides greater flexibility in filter creation. | Only supports text matching search |
| Real-time Device Log Reading Support | Enables real-time device log reading and supports package name filtering. | Supported | \ |
| The validity period of Real-time logs. | Captured real-time logs persist until manually cleared, allowing filtering at any time. | Real-time logs often disappear after device switching or due to other unknown reasons, often requiring log reproduction. | \ |
| Real-time Log Export | Allows exporting real-time logs, with exported file size dependent on the device's memory. | Logs can be exported, but the exported files can only be viewed by importing into Android Studio, resulting in reduced readability. | \ |
| File Log Import | Supports importing file logs, with size limitations based on the device's memory. | File logs can be imported, but only those exported from Android Studio in real-time are supported. | File logs can be imported |
