Comparison
TempleOSRSvsCrystal Math Labs
A short comparison of OSRS's two data-dense XP trackers. Both are for power users; one has maintained features, the other the deepest history.
Verdict
TEMPLE OSRS if you want data density with modern features: collection log tracking, drop logs, and actively maintained EHP/EHB rates. Crystal Math Labs if you value historical depth and the EHP lineage — it's the original tracker that invented the concept and holds the longest-reaching record. Both are for power users; you're choosing between maintained features or deep history.

Which to use for what
- Tracking your collection log progressBetter pick: TempleOSRS
TEMPLE tracks the collection log entry by entry after taking over much of what collectionlog.net did; CML doesn't cover this.
- Pulling a decade of historical XPBetter pick: Crystal Math Labs
CML is the original tracker and holds the game's longest-reaching historical dataset; old accounts have records TEMPLE doesn't hold.
- Reviewing detailed drop logs from your boss runsBetter pick: TempleOSRS
TEMPLE records drops per boss with totals and observed rates, a data layer CML doesn't expose.
- Referencing EHP as the origin conceptBetter pick: Crystal Math Labs
CML pioneered EHP; it's the origin source of the concept and the historical efficiency reference point.
- Working with EHP/EHB rates that reflect the current metaBetter pick: TempleOSRS
TEMPLE maintains its EHP/EHB rates actively and adjusts them when meta methods change in efficiency.
This is a comparison between two trackers that target the same profile: the player who wants dense data, not just "how much XP did I gain this week." TEMPLE OSRS is the modern power tracker, with collection log tracking, drop logs, and actively maintained EHP/EHB rates. Crystal Math Labs (CML) is the original, the one that invented EHP, with the game's longest-reaching historical record but an older UI. This isn't a beginner vs expert case — both are for technical users. The question is: maintained modern features, or historical depth?
Data and features
TEMPLE built its reputation on data density with active features:
- Collection log tracking. TEMPLE took over much of what collectionlog.net did and tracks your collection log entry by entry, with completion percentage. CML doesn't cover this.
- Drop logs. It records drops per boss with running totals and observed rates — useful for someone grinding a boss who wants to see exactly what dropped.
- Actively maintained EHP/EHB. TEMPLE adjusts its efficiency rates when meta methods change, so they reflect the current game.
CML, by contrast, is more stable and minimalist on features. It has no collection log or drop logs at that depth. Its strength isn't modern features but the dataset.
Historical depth and the EHP lineage
Here CML has what TEMPLE can't buy: time. CML has been tracking OSRS since long before, and so its XP history is the longest-reaching in the game. For old accounts, it holds records reaching back beyond what TEMPLE has.
And CML is the origin of EHP. The concept TEMPLE maintains and refines today was born in CML. For purists who value the concept's lineage and the historical efficiency reference, CML is the origin source, not just another implementation.
UI
TEMPLE has a more modern UI oriented to exploring dense data. CML carries a clearly older design; it works and the data is there, but the usage friction is higher. For a power user who spends hours in the tool, this tips the day-to-day toward TEMPLE.
When each one wins
| Scenario | Better pick |
|---|---|
| Collection log tracking | TEMPLE OSRS |
| Per-boss drop logs | TEMPLE OSRS |
| Current-meta EHP/EHB rates | TEMPLE OSRS |
| Modern UI for exploring data | TEMPLE OSRS |
| A decade of XP history | Crystal Math Labs |
| EHP origin reference | Crystal Math Labs |
| Longest-reaching efficiency record | Crystal Math Labs |
Recommendation
For today's active power user, TEMPLE OSRS is the more complete option: collection log, drop logs, and maintained EHP/EHB make it the day-to-day dense-data tool. Crystal Math Labs stays relevant for a specific, irreplaceable reason: the deep history and the EHP lineage. If your account has years on it or you care about the origin reference, CML has something no modern feature replaces. Many power users check TEMPLE daily and open CML when they need the full historical record.
