Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Journelly at 97% against Teforia's 43%. Journelly also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.9) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). Teforia's advantage is price (Free vs $14.99) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
