Does your mum ever wonder how many flights you've taken this year? Or how far you've flown this decade? Well mine does, and she asks me all the time. Rather than continually invent numbers off the top of my head I made Air Smiles instead, so I can give her highly approximate facts and figures on how much damage I'm causing the planet. You too can stop lying to a close relative or boring friend by tracking your flights with Air Smiles. You can even import a boarding pass from Wallet if you find selecting two airports and a date too much hassle. Air Smiles shows a map view for each flight with a comically inaccurate flight path, so you can see which landmarks you flew over, near, or, more likely, dozens of miles away from. Your flight data never leaves your device, both because I care about your privacy and I couldn't care less where you've flown to (although if you do fly somewhere interesting, drop me a line; I'd love to hear about it). Safe travels!
FlightLog

FlightLog is for use with the merlot.aero suite of products. FlightLog app enables pilots to capture the flight log directly into a tablet application, instead of paper within the cockpit. The app is easy to use and saves time for pilots because it will pre-populate with all relevant and known data when the pilot signs into the tablet application at the commencement of flight duty. Offline mode is available to allow pilots to input data into logs while in the cockpit, for submission later once Internet access is available. LOG IN Please use your usual Merlot or company directory credential to log in. The mobile token is available from the Login Center in the top-right corner of CrewPortal, or contact your Merlot administrator.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FlightLog at every 2 months against Air Smiles's every 26 months. FlightLog also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
