Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GlobeJotter at 5.0 against EZText's 4.2. GlobeJotter also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 27.0). EZText's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
