Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dyver at 100% against Dive Log Book's 19%. Dyver also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Dive Log Book's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
