Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Matter Utilities at 4.3 against Geocaching Datalogger's 3.7. Matter Utilities also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 3) and chart position (#141 vs unranked). Geocaching Datalogger's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (50% vs 37%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Matter Utilities sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Geocaching Datalogger asks for nothing beyond the download.
Matter Utilities holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Matter Utilities has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Geocaching Datalogger's written reviews are positive against 37% of Matter Utilities's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
