Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ELD Driver Log at none against Loadbase's shown. ELD Driver Log also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Loadbase's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
