Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MoleJournal at none against MyTrailPals's 2. MoleJournal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). MyTrailPals's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
