Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimeCalc at 79% against Pilot's 33%. TimeCalc also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.5 vs 4.0). Pilot's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
