Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ScubaPlan at 4.6 against Diving logbook's 4.2. ScubaPlan also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Diving logbook's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 5) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
