Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PilotBox at Free against Fuel Uplift's $2.99. PilotBox also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Fuel Uplift's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
