The clearest difference is rating: Pilot Logbook at 5.0 against SkyTimer's 4.0. Pilot Logbook also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). SkyTimer's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
