Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PilotBox at Free against Pilot Dictionary's $1.99. PilotBox also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 60 months). Pilot Dictionary's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
