Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Astronomy Logbook at Free against iEditor Pro's $4.99. Astronomy Logbook also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). iEditor Pro's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (16 vs 4). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
