Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Horizontal PCB at none against Ham2K Portable Logger's 8. Horizontal PCB also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Ham2K Portable Logger's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
