Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SafeMiles ELD at none against Pilot's shown. SafeMiles ELD also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.5). Pilot's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
