Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Crewlu at 5.0 against PILOTLOG's 4.2. Crewlu also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). PILOTLOG's advantage is ratings volume (134 vs 32) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
