Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Insomnia Coach at Free against The Framework Logbook's $1.99. Insomnia Coach also leads on ratings volume (90 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). The Framework Logbook's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

The Framework Logbook holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Insomnia Coach has 90 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
