Wise Old ManvsTempleOSRS

If you track your OSRS account or run clan competitions, you eventually compare these two. Wise Old Man (WOM) is the modern default tracker: open source, clean UI, and the best combo of RuneLite plugin plus Discord bot in the ecosystem. TEMPLE OSRS is where power users live: the deepest data in the game, with actively maintained EHP/EHB rates, drop logs, and collection log tracking that WOM doesn't cover. They don't compete for "the best"; they compete for two different player profiles.

Data depth

This is where TEMPLE has a clear edge. Its whole pitch is being the densest OSRS database:

• Actively maintained EHP/EHB. TEMPLE updates its Efficient Hours Played and Efficient Hours Bossed rates with a team that follows meta methods closely. When a training method or a boss kill changes in efficiency, the rates get adjusted.
• Collection log tracking. TEMPLE took over much of what collectionlog.net did: it tracks your collection log entry by entry, with completion percentage and what you're missing. WOM simply doesn't have this layer.
• Drop logs. It records drops per boss, with running totals and observed rates. It's the tool for someone who wants to know exactly what dropped across their 2,000 kills of a boss.
• Group and clan tools. TEMPLE has robust group tools and competitions, with a focus on aggregated clan data.

WOM also has EHP/EHB and maintains them, but TEMPLE is the project that has historically prioritized data depth above everything else. If your question is "I want the exact number, the rate, the full log," TEMPLE almost always has more.

UI and integrations

Here WOM is the clear winner, and for most players this is what matters most day to day:

• RuneLite plugin. WOM's plugin is the most polished in the ecosystem. It updates your profile automatically when you log in, without you ever opening the site or pasting your username. For clans, this means members stay up to date on their own.
• Discord bot. WOM's bot integrates with your server and posts competition progress, results, and lets you query stats with commands. It's the piece that makes WOM the default tracker for clans that live in Discord.
• Modern UI. The WOM site is clean, fast, and readable. The learning curve is near zero: someone new figures out where everything is in minutes.

TEMPLE's UI is functional but denser and data-oriented, not onboarding-oriented. A power user appreciates it; a casual player can find it overwhelming at first.

Competitions and groups

Both have competitions, but the focus differs. WOM has native Skill of the Week and Boss of the Week with a live leaderboard, and the Discord bot automates the announcement and tracking — which is why it's the standard for clans running recurring events. It also has achievements and name change tracking, useful for keeping a roster clean when members rename.

TEMPLE also offers competitions and group tools, with the advantage that the underlying data is richer. If your clan competes and also wants deep analysis of aggregated activity, TEMPLE has more to offer. But the setup friction and Discord dependency favor WOM for the common case.

Honest limitations

• WOM doesn't track collection log or drop logs. If that's what you want, WOM isn't the tool, and there's no way to make it one today.
• TEMPLE has a steeper curve. The data density that is its strength is also its barrier to entry. A casual player or a clan that just wants "see who gained the most XP this week" doesn't need half of what TEMPLE offers, and the UI reflects that.
• Both are free. There's no price axis tipping the scale. WOM is also open source, which some value for transparency and project longevity.
• Neither is localized to Spanish. Like almost all of the OSRS ecosystem, they're English only. The jargon (EHP, EHB, collection log, drop log) is the same in any language, so it's not a strong barrier for data, but it is for long-form text.

When each one wins

Scenario	Better pick
Clan Skill/Boss of the Week competition	Wise Old Man
Auto-update from RuneLite	Wise Old Man
Discord bot for the clan server	Wise Old Man
Fast onboarding of a new player	Wise Old Man
Collection log tracking	TEMPLE OSRS
Per-boss drop logs	TEMPLE OSRS
EHP/EHB rates with maximum detail	TEMPLE OSRS
Aggregated clan data analysis	TEMPLE OSRS

Recommended workflow

The reality is that many serious players use both in parallel, and it isn't contradictory. A common setup:

1. WOM as the main tracker and competition engine. You install the RuneLite plugin once, connect the Discord bot to the clan server, and from there competitions and daily tracking run on their own. It's the "activity and events" layer of the clan.
2. TEMPLE for the deep data. When you want to see your collection log progress, review the drop logs from a boss grind, or check EHP/EHB rates with maximum detail, you open TEMPLE. It's the "analysis and completionism" layer.

If you'll only use one: for most players and nearly all clans, Wise Old Man is the right default thanks to its integrations and UI. If you're a completionist, hunt drops, or live in efficiency numbers, TEMPLE OSRS is where you'll spend your time. And if you take the game seriously, having both is normal.
