LOG FLIGHTS. KEEP THE MEMORIES. Skyden is a pilot logbook for recording flights and saving the memories that come with them. Log a flight in seconds, add photos, and see your flying history on the map. LOG A FLIGHT IN SECONDS Skyden fills in aircraft, airports, times, and crew as you go. It works offline in the cockpit, at a remote airfield, or between sectors. Secure sync keeps your logbook up to date across your devices. SAVE THE MOMENTS Add photos to a flight and come back to them later. Save important flights and milestones as Memories, or make a flight card to share. SEE WHERE YOU HAVE FLOWN View every airport and route on one map. Trends show your flight time, landings, cross-country hours, aircraft, and more. EXPORT YOUR LOGBOOK Create PDF logbooks for EASA, FAA, TCCA, UK CAA, JCAB, UAE GCAA, and CASA. Print, sign, or share them when needed. IMPORT YOUR EXISTING LOGBOOK Import records from LogTen, ForeFlight, FlyLog, PILOTLOG, Swift Logbook, spreadsheets, and supported airline rosters. CERTIFICATES AND CURRENCY Track certificates, licenses, medicals, and currency.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flight Data Uploader at none against Skyden's 11. Skyden's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
