Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cube Calc at none against Timberlog's shown. Cube Calc also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Timberlog's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
