Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lighting Ratio at none against ZoeLog's 6. Lighting Ratio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (4 vs 2). ZoeLog's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 3). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
