LogWhen's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Left is free to download; LogWhen costs $4.99 up front. Left sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and LogWhen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
