Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TruckSmart ™ at none against Pilot's shown. TruckSmart ™ also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pilot's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (34% vs 14%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
