Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pilot Logbook at none against E6B Pathfinder's shown. Pilot Logbook also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). E6B Pathfinder's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
