Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pythonica at 5.0 against LogShow's 4.0. Pythonica also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). LogShow's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
