Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MS Logger at Free against FCD Surgery's $29.99. MS Logger also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). FCD Surgery's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
