Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PD Altitude at Free against Daily Flight Log's $4.99. PD Altitude also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 16 months). Daily Flight Log's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
