Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BiteLog at 5.0 against Catch's 4.2. BiteLog also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 71 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Catch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
