Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Divemates at 100% against DiverLog+'s 19%. Divemates also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). DiverLog+'s advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
